Fourteen brave souls drove 40 miles through a blizzard to get there. We could see everything perfectly. At many sites, celebrants consecrated bread and wine, distributed Communion and sprinkled baptismal water along with those at the cathedral. The offering was donated to a fund for struggling parishes in the Diocese of Chicago. It was neat to be celebrating Communion together, crossing barriers.
Communion is al- ways supposed to be beyond time and space.
And so it was.
