It's because his hearing is bad and also, the fewer people in front of us the fewer distractions at Mass - especially where little kids are concerned. They can be so cute. Sometimes the pew we like is filled up so we just find another empty space. It doesn't bother us. Nobody has ever complained that we are in their spot. I really like kkolwitz's introducing himself and meeting people. It's a great idea.Barbara Schoenebergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16951360211636509133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6891630216711818338.post-26594087347614915692011-03-27T10:21:14.106-05:002011-03-27T10:21:14.106-05:00Good idea for a post.

Sorry but I just can't.<br /><br />I would not sit in the same seat each Sunday but I let my kids pick and they really have a preference. At daily Mass I sit wherever I feel like, though mostly towards the back.<br /><br />When visiting other, small, non-Catholic churches, I take my seat as late as possible just before the service starts to give the "regulars" a chance to take their seats. But, still people drift in, you know. They're around, chitchatting. Anyway, one person did greet me once during the service and inform me - very sweetly but still - that I was in their seat. But that it was ok. I guess I was supposed to be flattered that they gave up their seat for me! So, you can't be too careful!Moonshadowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11277057132720569896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6891630216711818338.post-19378356752567882162011-03-26T21:02:05.755-05:002011-03-26T21:02:05.755-05:00When more/unfamiliar people come for Lent/Easter/C...When more/unfamiliar people come for Lent/Easter/Christmas, that's the chance tocome up after Mass and say, "Hey I bet you don't me from Adam, I'm X; what's your name? Are you new in the parish? Do you usually go to another Mass? Etc, etc.<br /><br />Honest to God, I meet people that way all the time.kkollwitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17691145638703824456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6891630216711818338.post-70237669311557915252011-03-26T20:26:15.737-05:002011-03-26T20:26:15.737-05:00Ha!

This reminds of a story my (now deceased) aunt told me once years ago, that actually happened to her: She was praying before Sunday mass when someone GRABBED her arm and yanked her out of the pew saying, "You are sitting my MY seat!"Carol D'Annunziohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00233721236316209689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6891630216711818338.post-87869068585253747412011-03-23T20:30:09.220-05:002011-03-23T20:30:09.220-05:00You're sooo right about the seats!

We're definitely creatures of habit!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11533317405680450964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6891630216711818338.post-51494240534057501152011-03-23T12:30:43.432-05:002011-03-23T12:30:43.432-05:00This made me laugh!

I will now be a more charitable about it! This was a great post! So well written!SZMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13707329985596951755noreply@blogger.com
