"Wrong church!"

June 8, 2026

"My church split from yours a long time ago."

An elderly woman passed behind our table, carrying her coffee. "We are just like your church. Our liturgy is very similar."

"What church do you attend?" I asked. "It's one of the ones that split from yours," she repeated.

I said, "We have the Eucharist and we believe that it is truly Jesus, body, blood, soul and divinity" and she quickly retorted "so do we."

"In reality and not in symbol!" I said, adding, "Do you ever get an opportunity to go to a Catholic mass? At St Leo's? Right here?"

"Yes," she said, taking a sip, "when I need to go to a funeral."

We exchanged waves as she started to walk away. "This is my weekly treat," she shared, swirling her coffee. "What's your drink of choice?" I asked.

"Cardamom sugar latte. I think they're the only ones who have the cardamom. One of the owners is Scandanavian and uses cardamom often in their baked goods. But not too many people order it in their coffee, apparently."

"Yes, i think that is true," I commented. "Enjoy!"

We parted with a wave after exchanging good wishes.
