Last Chance Mass

This morning I missed our regular Mass, which is not a good thing. However, one of the advantages of being Catholic is the abundance of Masses we offer; Saturday evening, Sunday morning, Sunday afternoon and Sunday evening. With so many churches offering so many liturgies, it is hard not to find one to accommodate even the busiest schedule. One of my favorites is the "Last Chance Mass" at Saint James Church on Delaware Avenue in Albany. It starts at 7:30 p.m. and features the contemporary choir. Originally a favorite of local college students who could not drag themselves out of bed after a long Saturday night, it now attracts people of all ages. And today I do not have to worry about setting the VCR to record West Wing, because NBC is showing the Olympics.
