Where I normally go for liturgy while I am home...

Our Lady of Peace Church in Santa Clara. Also called "Our Lady of the Highway" since the statue of the Blessed Mother is visible from 101. The founder of the parish, Msgr. John J. Sweeney, passed away recently--he was a very good priest, quiet and humble. He also wore a cassock! If only we had more priests like him in the diocese of San Jose. Supposedly there are two Legionary priests working in the diocese, since there is a new school operated by people affiliated with the Legion and Regnum Christi. I have not met them yet, but my guess is that they are rather young. (No idea if the news about Fr. Maciel as had any impact locally yet, though I did hear something but I won't repeat it here...) I did know about this school being affiliated with the LC, but I didn't know there were priests in the area. (The LC is also operating in Sacramento--they are trying to start an university there. The Fraternity has an indult parish in Sacramento, which I have not yet visited. LC photos from a recent audience with Benedict XVI.)

I should take a picture of the statue with the digital camera when I get a chance...

Our home parish: Saint Joseph of Cupertino
We prefer the liturgies over at Our Lady of Peace... The church looks good on the outside, but there was some renovation inside. I usually try to picture what the interior of a Latin church would look like if it were redone as a Byzantine church, with iconostasis, no pews, and so on... what an improvement! The large stained glass window above the main doors is relatively new; I can't remember what was there before. It's a modern window and the pattern is somewhat boring--not enough symbols. A rose window might be nice.

One of these days I will have to go to the Sunday Liturgy at the local Byzantine Catholic parish, which is located in Los Gatos... The priest at St. Basil is Fr. Anthony, whom my mother met over at Our Lady of Peace, since he teaches some classes there. My mother claims she learned how to sing their chants (in English of course) for Vespers and the like... haha
