Then, after breakfast (bread, jam and tea - very British, really!) it was up to the main church for Sunday Mass. To my astonishment - remembering that this church is at the top of an alpine pass - the service was packed, including a number of families, young children, teenagers ... I have no idea where they all came from, but it was a terrific and lively hour!
And the ability of the community to make the switches required, from intimate to congregational, from contemplative to celebratory - was impressive. They're only a small community, fewer than ten people in all, I think, but God has clearly called the right people to be here.
