Seriously, felt banners hail to the day when Father Pastor was cheap and the liturgy committee practiced BYOF.Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01191406902235512701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15621027.post-1126575372935933522005-09-12T20:36:00.000-05:002005-09-12T20:36:00.000-05:0020 years? Surely you exaggerate. I haven't seen ...20 years? Surely you exaggerate. I haven't seen many, because the places where I tend to assist at Mass aren't (and weren't really ever) "felt banner" parishes. <BR/><BR/>But when I go 'a visiting I see them. Most of my visiting is on the Kansas side. St. John the Evangelist in Lawrence must have a nice set. Some of the rural Kansas parishes too. A few of the Johnson County parishes had them about 10 years ago when I was last inside (Holy Spirit, Holy Cross, Holy Name . . . etc., they all run together, kind of like the parishes named after the BVM other on the Missouri side (Our Lady of ...)). <BR/><BR/>I saw one at a wedding in Belton a few years ago, but I don't have recent first-hand knowledge of suburban Missouri parishes. I take it STM is not using them these days?<BR/><BR/>How does one get rid of polyester vestments? Given that they are (depite their appearance) sacred objects, one would ordinarily burn them, I assume, but polyester doesn't really burn. Do you just melt them down into a blob and bury them somewhere?Curmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16958570482046462392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15621027.post-1126572477810454752005-09-12T19:47:00.000-05:002005-09-12T19:47:00.000-05:00I can't say I've seen a felt banner in about twent...I can't say I've seen a felt banner in about twenty years. Are people still using them in our neck of the woods? I do have about eight diocesan concelebration vestments my pastor told me to get rid of. Icky polyester things.Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01191406902235512701noreply@blogger.com
