(Yes, I’ll restart the "Open Query" thread I started way back when…but until then…<\/p>\n
\n\nI have to be in Montreal for work on Palm Sunday. (My company ignored
the fact that it is Holy Week and scheduled its member meeting.
Technology companies, grrr!!) Normally while on business travel, I
would go to whatever parish is convenient to where I am staying.
Respectfully, but given that it is the start of Holy Week, I’d really
like to attend a Mass where I will not be distracted by the all too
frequent liturgical abuses or insipid music of many parishes today.
Any advice from you or your readers on where to go? I can do early
morning; I can do French, although English or Latin is preferred; my
French is pretty rusty. I am staying downtown near the Convention
Centre, but am willing to travel elsewhere within the city.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"(Yes, I’ll restart the "Open Query" thread I started way back when…but until then… I have to be in Montreal for work on Palm Sunday.
