We started our day with Mass as is to be expected. Returning to St. Francis DeSales in Georgetown, KY before heading further down the road, we discovered that this small country parish is anything but small on a Sunday. It was so edifying to see a hundred or more people packed into this space, worshipping God according to the ancient rite of the Roman Church This, of course, was after we navigated our SUV Past the rows of transit vans and minivans parked on the lawn just off the drive. Parking is tight here but it only adds to the visual image of a community exploding in growth. And that sermon? Stirring! Could not have asked for a better start to the Lord’s Day.
And then it was back on the road. First up, a visit to a cemetery in Kentucky’s capital city. We prayed at the grave of Daniel Boone because why not?
Then we stopped in for bourbon balls and coffee.
A little further down the road and we were sampling bourbon proper at a distillery.
Finally we took a few hours to visit with fellow alumni of our Alma Mater at a farm outside Louisville. The skies turned nasty but we managed a good time nonetheless.
And we capped it all off with five hours behind the wheel driving into the sunset. I am very excited to visit one of my favorite churches tomorrow in St. Louis!
Guardian Angels, protect us in our travels!
