We're going to FL the first week of April, and we are going, even if I have to drive it.



My siblings and their kids are also going - my sister is a bit more alarmist that I, and when she was expressing concern about being able to fly, or even being able to go - that was my response  - "Unless the roads are closed, my family will be going to Florida".

We're doing a family trip to FL the last week of March, which we don't intend to cancel for all of the reasons that have been mentioned. 

We're going to FL the first week of April, and we are going, even if I have to drive it.
My wife has been watching flight prices to Florida cut in half this past week down to $100 round trip.  Might have to take the kids down to see the mouse.

I had booked our rental car several months ago and it was ~$384 for the 8 days that we'll be there.

I checked prices again just to see if I could save anything, and was able to book the same car / agency for $290, so clearly there's some adjustments being made by some folks.

The Minneapolis Archdiocese put out the following guidance:
QuoteMeanwhile, if pastors judge it good for the well-being of their parishioners—psychologically if not also medically—they certainly can issue parish-wide guidelines for their community. Here are some precautions they may consider:
+Remind parishioners to stay home if they feel sick or have flu-like symptoms.
+Suspend the Sign of Peace or offer it without touching.
+Suspend Communion from the Chalice.
+Discourage hand-holding during the Our Father.
+Empty holy water fonts.
Any changes should be communicated with parish leadership, staff and parishioners. Parishioners are reminded to stay home if they feel unwell or have flu-like symptoms.
Catholic trads loving coronavirus right now...next thing you know it's going to require mass to be celebrated ad orientem :p

I was honestly suprised they offered the Precious Blood at the Mass I went to on Sunday...ended up going to a different parish than usual because I'm too dumb to remember when the mass times are (wife and I are keeping the baby at home, so I got to go to an earlier mass than usual).  In our usual parish, people already haven't been shaking hands for a couple of weeks.  Can't be too careful when your mass attendance looks like the AARP army

Our normal Costco run this weekend found the store fully stocked on everything but toilet paper, which was completely gone...funny what people choose to stock up on.

I've been unable to find hand sanitizer anywhere.  I have big bottles on my desk at work and at home, but I'd like smaller bottles for our vehicles (this is not panic mode from me-->just don't want a cold/flu/corona prior to our spring break trip).

Our priest brought it up yesterday, and it was funny how automatic it is to extend your hand for the peace offering, even when advised not to.  ;D

Drank communion from the common cup on Sunday. I got first drink, so minimal risk. Afterwards, my buddy says "That's faith! Hope you took an extra big swig for the rest of us"  8-) ;D

The rector at our Episcopal church actually told us that sipping from the common cup might be safer than intinction because of the possibility of dipping our fingers along with the host. I guess I see the point, but it still sounds wrong.

I had to look up intinction.  That's a no-no in the Catholic Church.

Self-intinction is verboten, but at my parish, the most common distribution of the Eucharist involves the Priest intincting (is that the right word) in the precious blood and then receiving on the tongue.

I checked on our rental and realized that I had scheduled our pickup for the day before we arrive!  Our pricing was about the same, but I saved money because I dropped the extra day. :)

Interesting.  I don't think I've seen that before (the intinction, not receiving on the tongue).  If I have, it's been a loooong time.

Man, we have some odd topics of conversation in here.

It's certainly not very common. Not sure when I'd last seen it before our parish started doing this.

I love the random offseason conversations, for the most part.

I am considering (planning on) a pilgrimage up to Collegeville on Saturday.

This board has gone full UST / SJU now. We are getting deep into the Eucharist  ;D Topical during this Lenten Season. I guess the Bennies and Saint Mary's are welcome aboard as well.

They do it in the parish my wife and I used to attend in Coon Rapids too, FWIW.  Though weirdly, come to think of it, the lay ministers as well as the priests do it, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yep. I'm totally tradding out right now and loving every minute of it. I didn't have Susan from the Parish Council aggressively grabbing my hand to sing Cumbayá... err... I mean the Our Father. I'm also totally OK with no Sign of Peace.

Bring on all the -K you want at me for trending tradward.
Sing us a song, you're the piano man

I'm not a big fan of hand-holding for the Our Father, either, and have resisted for years.  We're prepping for our oldest's first communion now, though, so in trying to get him to participate slightly in mass, I've caved.  :D
