Closing in on the one-year mark (and thus the conclusion of this project), yesterday, I went to Mass at Queen of the Angels church which is part of the two-church parish, Queen of the Apostles. This Mass was their official celebration of the patronal feast (there was also a dinner at a nearby restaurant after Mass, which I skipped).
The Mass had modest attendance, which I guess was typical of a Saturday Mass, although other parishes I’ve visited have had higher Saturday Mass attendance than this. They used the readings for Ascension Thursday (which is now celebrated on Sunday in the US) which I suppose supersedes the propers for the feast, although I’ve been to other churches which did the readings for their patronal feast rather than the Sunday readings which are supposed to take precedence.
