St. Cy's Celebrates Lacombe Harvest Festival - Part II: Treasured Memories

Saturday, September 26, St. Cyprian's opened its sanctuary to visitors from near and far for a glorious display of wedding memorabilia and harvest bounty, donated by parishioners.  Your intrepid blog reporter, however, was able to have a sneak preview the evening before the event, and snapped these photos...

"What therefore God hath joined together,
let no one put asunder."

-- Mark 10: 9, KJV (paraphrased)

I am now to be among you at the calling of your hearts;
Rest assured this troubadour is acting on My part.
The union of your spirits here has caused Me to remain,
For whenever two or more of you are gathered in My name
There is love,
There is love.

Well a man shall leave his mother and a woman leave her home;
They shall travel on to where the two shall be as one.
As it was in the beginning, is now and till the end,
Woman draws her life from man and gives it back again...
And there is love.
There is love.

For then what`s to be reason for becoming man and wife?
Is it love that brings you here, or love that brings you life?
For if loving is the answer, then who`s the giving for? 
Do you believe in something that you`ve never seen before? 
Oh, there`s love,
Oh there`s love.

Yes, the marriage of your spirits here has caused Me to remain,
For whenever two or more of you are gathered in My name,
There is love...
There is love.

-- The Wedding Song - Paul Stookey
