How sad that ?Never again? will miss the spiritually that dwells in St. Isabel?s. My hour or two on the weekend at Mass is what holds me together spiritually during the week. I confess that I prefer a quiet church especially when Fr. Christopher sings the Consecration and I feel infused with the Holy Spirit. His homilies are the best I have ever heard and I feel cheated when I have to go out of town. We are a small parish. Most of the people attending Mass come from ?up north? or other places. I serve as a Eucharistic Minister and Usher and I always have a smile on my face. I want our visitors to find our church a source of peace and comfort as I do. We would not have our church had not we been given a Good Shepherd, Fr. Christopher. I remember the first day they let us return after Charley, wading though our ruined, destroyed church. My intention was to comfort our priest, instead he comforted me. Here is a an who supervised every part of the rebuilding while he was in constant pain, had several surgeries, lost several members of his family including his blessed mother who died in the rectory. Fr. Christopher is fond of saying, ?It?s not how much you go to church that counts, or how much you pray or how pious you appear to others. What counts is how you lead your life. We are blessed to have both a beautiful spiritual church and a pastor ?smote? by the Spirit.
Pros: Beautiful church, Beautiful music, The priest sings, Happy out-going priest
Cons: Homilies too short
