Bishop Clark to celebrate Mass at Mason's farm?

According to the Wayne County Star, Bishop Clark will be celebrating Mass in Savannah this weekend:

Bishop Matthew Clark will lead a noon Mass at Bruce and Barbara Waterman’s farm on Route 89 during the St. John - St. Michael - St. Patrick cluster picnic Sept. 27.

The Mass, which will be held in the Watermans’ barn about four miles north of the hamlet of Savannah, is open to the public. Those wishing to stay for the picnic afterward need to purchase a ticket from the parish office ...

I wonder if His Excellency is aware that an online Masonic newsletter lists a Bruce G. Waterman as Past Master of Savannah Masonic Lodge No. 764 and a Bruce M. Waterman as current Master of the same lodge.

Not sure what to say...

I hope he isn't aware of it, but am very curious to see how he handles it when he does find out.

Excellent catch, DOR Catholic!

HAH! That explains my priest willingness to allow the Masons to use our parish center for their Annual Turkey Dinner. Afterall, the Masons are a fraternal order just the Knights of Columbus! Or so I've been told when I have objected.

I am sure Jesus would not have objected - He welcomes all! :)

God was glorified at this wonderful "pinic" and celebration of the Lord's day! Thanks to all those who prayed and helped organize this day - which actually included everyone that was there and could not attend! Everyone that was either at the event or aware of the event was somehow touched by the Lord's presence! :)

Do we really want to make issue of something as trivial as this in a day and age when Catholisism is dwindling among the next generation??? I commend this Parish Cluster for organizing a family friendly event and welcoming others to celebrate the love of Christ. Is that not what we are charged to do as Catholics? Do we really want to lower ourselves to be so jugemental as to say a wonderful celebration in the name of our Lord cannot be celebrated at the home of someone who also calls himself a Mason? Who are we to judge? I am sure that Mass was beautiful as it is each and every week!
