“All Saints Coming Together” was the theme of the outdoor celebration at my parish yesterday. Catholics who normally attend one of five weekend Masses were asked to all gather for the same liturgy and to bring their own chairs. The Mass was the culmination of a week of prayer, which was preceded by home visitations.

To supplement the photos I took with my own camera, I asked a few friends in the congregation if they would each send me a picture or two to share here. I wanted to see which they chose as their favorite. Gary Loe, Kathy & Keith Ely and Kim McCready all were quick to respond. The photo credits are included within the alt text for each picture.

The Mass also received coverage on WBIR. Right before he was about to be interviewed, I shouted “say something clever” to my pal Fr. Michael Woods. On camera, he quipped that the idea was inspired by a Baptist tent revival, even though it may have had more in common with the Sermon on the Mount.
