I hope this doesn't mean Fr. Peter will be poached from St. James

Last year I wrote for my Eucharist class a paper on the most memorable liturgical experience I ever had. That was the assignment, and I thougth I would struggle with it since I couldn't name a single liturgical experience that was particularly good, or bad, or even memorable. I wrote about instead the whole of my experience at St. James parish in Elizabethtown, Kentucky. This is the best parish ever---okay maybe just in my world. I couldn't quite identify the reason this parish was so fantastic, was it the area of Kentucky with its strong, old Catholic ties and monestaries, or the people of E-town themselves, or the priests. I think everyone has a hand in it, but one of the priests I mentioned in the paper was the assistant pastor, Fr. Peter Do. Father Peter is Vietnamese, part of the growing Vietnamese population in the Louisville area. It was so nice to get to one of his masses in December when I was back in Louisville for Susan's wedding. I remarked to Randy that his homilies showed noted improvement with another year of experience and further comfort with the language. Not that they were bad a year earlier, but they were definitely homilies by a new priest whose first language is not English.
So the Archdiocese of Louisville has now designated a parish as Vietnamese, meaning I suppose that the primary language will be Vietnamese and the traditions will reflect that community. Open Book has this discussion going on about it.
