Regular readers will recall that the big event for us in 2010 was the 5oth Annivesary of the Consecration of the Cathedral.
This is the first in a series of three posts dedicated to the event.
Part 1: The preparations
Tomorrow is the big day. When you smallest action can make a difference you better pray!!
Thurifer gets into the swing of things.
Some altar boys move faster than light.
Jube Domne Benedicere and a few last minute instructions
Fr. Shaun commissioned some beautiful new cloths for the Altar rail.
Constance Kayombo, Sacristan, gives the flowers one last look over.
Not quite the orginal six giant brass candlesticks commissioned for the consecration in 1950. But an attractive substitute. Of the original six only three are left. Our fondest wish to have the missing three candlesticks re-cast.
While last minute rehearsals are going on in the Cathedral and preparations are taking place
in the sacristy .... the ladies tackle the hall for the luncheon
When you have dozens of tables to prepare even the smallest pair of hands can help lighten the load.
As the luncheon was a fund-raiser we needed lots of prizes.
The cakes have arrived!! The cakes have arrived!!!
Dozens of cakes were baked for the luncheon after the mass.
Each cake had a picture of the Cathedral on it.
Folding hundreds of Proper sheets requires quite a few hands.
Thank You, Una Voce Orange County without your on-line propers we wouldn't know what to do.
Many thanks to all for your hard work.
