Solemn and Sad Final Mass...

It was a beautiful, yet solemn Final Mass at Our Lady Help of Christians Polish Roman Catholic Church. The church was packed with a standing room only crowd of parishioners just like back in the “old days” for Sunday Mass. Even before the Mass started there wasn’t a dry eye in the house and as the service wound its way to the conclusion the outpouring of sadness and grief was heard throughout the church. The saying, “The Smallest Parish with The Biggest Heart” was beating very audibly and reverberating throughout the hallowed walls of this holy place. The author was just as caught up in the emotion along with everyone else in this ceremonial final service of this living entity.
