About Fr Stephen Smuts
Perhaps he will be made a Monsignori to help Msgr. Steenson.
I do notice that the altar is placed right in the middle of that one step top platform – I know there is a correct name- making it appear equally capable for a priest to face east as towards the people. Given that a number of the churches there have the EF liturgy, not a complete surprise. Loeverde has been better than some were fearing- look at Leesburg what they are getting now as opposed what they got last time, and Holy Trinity is clearly better than Percelville. Hopefully, St A’s of Route 7 in Vienna will get resolved. Im guessing its stll Fr Ringrose there. Im still in my liturgical wasteland, where if you want any decent eucharistic liturgy you have to go Eastern. The local 28 parish still is without a priest at all.
Uh, one comment to make. You put Potomac Falls Maryland. I think you meant Virginia.
