[Magdalen] Calendar question

[Roger Stokes]

Back in 2007 Joan and I were flying out of London City Airport on the 
Friday. (Despite the name it's not in the centre but in Docklands some 
miles to the East of the city centre.) We were staying at a hotel in the 
area the night before and I searched in vain for a church (Anglican or 
RC) in the area that had a Eucharist that evening. Flew to Vienna the 
next morning and found that all the churches had observed the Feast on 
the day since it was a public holiday there.

I caught the priest afterward at the parish we were trying the Sunday before, and he mentioned the movement was so as to actually include parishioners in the celebration.  I felt like saying, "Yeah, you'll have a full house, but just how many of them will even get what's going on or what it's all about?"
