One doesn't have to be intellectual or "lady-like" to observe that the string of "chief guests" and padris who are given the place of honor, want others (usually the un-ladylikes in the congregation like myself) to make the sorpatel, cook, wash up, sell it etc etc. Isn't it high time that they made the sorpatel, dished it up, donated some money themselves, and did something practical for a change? Having sponsored many a Mass here in the San Francisco area and seen priests and guests leave without producing any action of any sort, I speak from experience. And, by the way, in the name of progress, how about letting the ladies and un-ladylikes say the Mass and make the speeches? Thanks for your kind New Year's wishes. I wish you and your family " Ek Dhadosbohrit anink Xeantikaichem Novem Voros 2004" as Dominic has taught us to say!
