How terrible! I wouldn't go to Mass there either! Have you talked to the Pastor; this disrespectful behavior is unacceptable. I love that Mass....often go to the Cathefral in St Augustine.

Lynn - sorry this is a holiday Joke. -----Original Message----- From: Lynn Labauve <[email protected]> How terrible! I wouldn't go to Mass there either!

You see, I am a practicing Catholic, devoted and I enjoy going to church, a time to meditate, to pray and just be there. Thing is I like the silence and everything that goes with the Mass but over the years I have had problems with people attending Midnight Mass and you hear talking all along, laughing and frankly not much respect and I am devoted and want to celebrate the Mass in a respectful fashion. Anyway I won’t be going this year as last year during the sermon, which I was listening to attentively, an older man three pews in front of me lit up a cigarette. I couldn’t believe my eyes! In fact I was so astounded that I almost dropped my bottle of beer…
