We’re back and we’re here. So there.

  • Jane drinks kiwi berries.
  • The Dedication of the Cathedral of the Holy Family will be taking place on Sunday, May 13th, 2012.
  • It’s the culmination of a week of festivities. Woo woo!
  • Someone from a NET team made a clever observation.
  • Andy and Jane helped plan a family carnival to kick off the festivities.
  • Warren, the balloon man, is awesome. He made Thomas.

    Out of balloons.
  • The new building has stats. Darryl talks about them.
  • Salt and Light will be recording the dedication.
  • Apparently dedications are complicated. Go figure.
  • The last cathedral dedication in North America was… probably the one in L.A. (2002)? In Canada, it’s probably been a few decades at least. Sacred Heart in Prince George (1960′s) might be the most recent?
  • The Crystal Cathedral will be the new cathedral in Orange.
  • Get tickets to the grand gathering.
  • The Prayer of Dedication is pretty.
  • Sticky is available for visual appreciation at andyland.ca
  • Granite does not absorb oil, apparently.
  • Remember: No kissing until after the blessing (of the altar).
  • Sarah Hall made nice windows.
  • Find people who have talents and are willing to share them.
  • Google Docs, Dropbox and Backpack.

Hashtag of the Week: #cathedral2012 and #saskadedication

Question of the Week: Who will win the Stanley Cup this year? (Go Riders!)

Song(s) of the Week: “A Listening Heart” by Bob Hurd, composed and dedicated “to the faithful of the Diocese of Saskatoon on the occasion of the blessing of the Cathedral of the Holy Family”. It’s on the album Dining in the Kingdom.

(Alternate title: Did Jesus have a Wheaten Terrier?)

Join us as we talk about our experiences of Holy Week and Easter! What were your experiences?

Items we discussed:

  • The NHL Playoffs have been great so far.
  • Ice Ice Baby
  • Andy and Jane’s computer is on the blink. So Andy podcasts from his phone and makes notes on paper.
  • Happy birthday, Pope Benedict!
  • The new translation of the Exsultet talks about bees. This reminds Jane of Homestar Runner (and Fr. Darryl of the Bumble Bee man on The Simpsons).
  • The Triduum was tiring but good. And blizzard-y in Fr. Darryl’s area.
  • Jane getting sick was not so good.
  • Fr. Darryl’s dog forgot where the bathroom was. (And it’s not because Andy was podcasting from there…)
  • This Week in Tech (TWiT.tv) had a Jesuit priest on the most recent episode!

Hashtag of the Week: #cebu

Question of the Week: Would you Skype the Pope?

Song(s) of the Week: I’m Sensitive to Bees by Marzipan, with appearances from Homestar Runner and Strongbad; and Song of the Cebu from VeggieTales.

Good day, eh. Our topic for today is actually two topics – all for the price of one! Better call in now while you can, ’cause you know we can’t keep this up all day! We’re talking about Christian Initiation and parish websites!

Hashtag of the Week: #spoonsofsalsa

Question of the Week: How has your Lent gone?

Song of the Week: Freedom Fighters (aka. the Star Trek movie trailer music) by Two Steps from Hell (Nick Phoenix and Thomas Bergersen), from the album “Invincible”. (The name kind of reminds Darryl of the Black Knight in Holy Grail.)

Postponed!

Posted on March 27, 2012 by jane

I am beginning to think that this year’s mantra might just be ‘postponed’… At least this time it’s not for long! We’ll be recording this Friday, so stay tuned to hear our latest and greatest!

Alleluia! It’s Lent! (Or so say our Eastern peeps.) And so here we go…
