Sue (Desperate Irish Housewife), who was at the same Mass I was this morning, reports:
Today is the third Sunday of Advent, Gaudete Sunday. Traditionally the priest wears rose-colored vestments on this day. We didn't get that at Mass today. We got purple.
It's hard for some men to wear pink, I guess.
Heh. Father D. is usually quite liturgically correct, but her guess fits him pretty well. Good thing the choir was on top of things with the Gaudete and all, so I didn't get disoriented.
