Flu Concerns at OLV

At First Friday Mass yesterday and at Holy Saturday Mass today at Our Lady of Victory, an announcement was made not to "touch hands," per Father Antinarelli. It was suggested that we nod or wave peace to each other. I just want to "shake Father's hand," but I guess I can't.

My current quick-excuse for not holding hands during the Our Father is "I go to high school, and tons of people are sick there... with SWINE FLU. Dun dun dunnnnn."

I agree with Dr.k I hope it is permanent too. Why not skip the whole thing. why do we have to nod or wave?

Sister E,

Kneel down at the kiss of peace and keep your head down, most people don't bother you when you are praying.

I went to OLV tonight, and I must say, I LOVE not having to shake the hand of everyone around me. Let's never bring this back. It just doesn't belong in the Mass right before we're about to receive our God.

All I can suggest is that you/we bring these bits of feedback to Fr. Antinarelli. I'm sure he'd appreciate it.

I sent him a note today.

GOD BLESS FR. ANTINARELLI, NOW AND FOREVER, AMEN!

I do hope this will be permanent at OLV. I didn't miss the shaking of hands at all.

To Bishop Clark, From His Humble Servants:

"Prince of degredations, bought and sold,
These verses, written in your crumbling sty,
Proclaim the faith that I have held and hold,
And publish that in which I mean to die."
