It's about time the students go to Adoration.
Why didn't you post my comment, "It's about time the students at St. Paul attend Adoration." Just because you don't agree with it? It's true.
This comment in our opinion is a bit mean-spirited. This might have been one of those rare times we have shown this, but students regularly visit the church and attend Mass every Friday. Miss Means is especially devoted. She teaches First Communion We wonder how long anonymous spends at adoration or attends an extra weekday Mass.
As a former student of St. Paul, I was just making an observation that it is well overdue for the students of the school to regularly attend Eucharistic Adoration. Never did I say anything negative about the teacher who is involved in doing so. My children attend another area Catholic grade school and Eucharistic Adoration is an important part of their faith formation, and I only wish it was something I could have experienced myself when I attended St. Paul years ago. The lack of religion at St. Paul school is sad to say the least. Oh, and I am not "Anonymous." I have created a screen name for commenting on this blog, and not that it is any of your business, but I do regularly attend Adoration at our church, as do our children.
A screen name still means you do not want to identify yourself. If you are from another parish, you should have no cause to post mean-spirited remarks like "sad to say the least."

Wow...you also have a screen name. My children attended St. Paul, so I have every right to comment here, not to mention it's a public blog. You have been nasty to several people on this blog in the past, so don't quote about being kind when you have not been yourself.
Why is St. Paul Today acting so mean spirited. As a parent of former students and a member of the parish, my children were not given the opportunity to attend adoration. This is such a huge part of being Catholic. I attend another church for adoration because the late evening hours fit into my schedule. I would attend St. Paul's adoration if the hours fit into my schedule.
At this time of year, kindness is most needed. I don't think the blog is the place to lecture, scrutinize, or admonish someone's opinion. It would seem that the blog should be open to all comments and I have seen from past comments from others that the blog owner censors and becomes a bit over zeolous when he feels that the comment was not worth mentioning or goes against what he wants.
Lets all try to be more kind this season of preparing for the way fo the Lord. Now that the children have the oppportunity to attend lets support them and the teachers. I do not think that anomnymous was suggesting anything wrong with Ms. Means and I do not think that she would think that. Teachers can only provide the tools for teaching when they are in place for them to do so.
What is it with the blog owner? If folks feel that what they have to say is going to be persecuted, they will stop writing the blog. What a shame as this is so interesting to see how and what makes people tick. St. Paul Today needs to not be so on the defensive and understand that people are entitled to their opinion as this is the United States of America where my brother fought and died in Vietnam so that we could enjoy the freedoms of this country. Quit being the freedom of speech police and allow parishiners to voice their comments without making them feel like they committed mortal sin.
Freedom of Speech is a wonderful thing Mr. Anonymous except when hidden behind a name like Anonymous. I have had the sad privilege of reading the comments of many Mr. Anonymous would be contributes.No they don't get published. It would turn this blog into the gossip ridden piece of garbage you are apparently looking for. Actually I believe you are the first anonymous comment to be posted. Fact is most who leave those comments, and from the writing style it is very few, are the people who tend to hold things back. We should - why didn't we - I would have. Well post your name and do it. The writer of this blog has been recognized with a Pulitzer Prize for his groups work in news (he was an assistant news editor at the time)so don't question the journalistic credentials. His intentions for this blog are to bring out all of the good that is going on in the St. Paul Church community and the Catholic Church as a whole. I to have 15 years in the media and fully support everything that is on this blog and the intentions of it's OWNER. Yes owner - he is doing this for St. Paul and his love of the church. If you wish to take over the blog (and I pray you don't)he would probably welcome you with open arms - I know that he has asked for help many times with NO response to take on the responsibility for daily updating. Over 97,000 hits - must be doing something right. So, I look forward to reading the first issue of your blog to cover our parish. I'm sure it will be filled with suggestion after suggestion, stir up plenty of talk and hard feelings. That's great. Best of luck - and see you soon - I guess, I mean I probably will, I mean I suppose. Well anyway, I guess you will see me first.
