It amazes me how much attention we have received on account of our video for Kenrick Alumni Day. We have run into "fans" at St Francis de Sales, at parishes, through emails, and on blogs from all over the world.
Well, today as we were filming our next movie for the October gaud, a lady drove by, rolled down her window, and shouted, "I saw you on YouTube." All the guys looked at each other and smiled, not knowing what to say. This lady parked her car and came by us on her way into the Rigali Center. She told us that her husband is in the group Una Voce, a movement that apparently promotes wider use of the Mass of 1962. He is leaving to Rome soon, where he will be running into a few friends of his at the Vatican, ALL of whom have seen the video and think it is excellent. The VATICAN! That's not to mention that Deacon Patrick Driscoll emailed a link to his friend at the CDF, who will likely share it with Cardinal Leveyda.
This is all very interesting, and a great deal of fun. For me, it is a reminder of the grace of God: with some little effort, God can make it into a great big success.
In the interim, this new film for the October Gaud is called Amphibious Assault on the Old Kenrick. We are all pretty much in agreement that this will never make it to YouTube, not only because it is not as wide a concept as the last one, but because it is too over the top. If you know how the old Kenrick building is being used right now, you might have an idea what I mean.
Enjoy a few pictures on the set of Amphibious Assault!
