Saturday, I went to Mass at St Elizabeth of the Trinity, the new name of St Tarcissus church after the parish was merged with St Cornelius and St Thecla. All the Masses of the weekend celebrated the saint and used the readings for her feast rather than the regular ordinary time readings for the Mass.
The congregation was largely old white folks with perhaps two or three non-white people in attendance, a somewhat odd experience for the contemporary Catholic church, although it may be have been an artifact of the vigil Mass since those tend to be most popular with older people.
