The mass I attended yesterday could be described as "only in America!" It's a mission church and not very well-off. The congregation was about 80% Hispanic, i.e., Mexican, and the dress of choice was jeans and sweater/hoodie. The priest is Korean and offers masses in English, Spanish and Korean. This mass was in English. They had a wonderful Korean children's choir of about 30 voices who sang in English and Latin! Every word was clearly enunciated. At one point the different universes collided when I noticed nearly all Mexicans going up for Holy Communion from a Korean English-speaking priest while the Korean children sang "Panis Angelicus" in Latin. Wow!!! One could get windburn from the whizzing back and forth between cultures.
