It’s been a busy weekend so far. My son has three baseball games this weekend, among other things going on.

I took my son to his Friday evening at his game – and if you haven’t seen it in my Twitter, he won the game ball based on a tremendous hit he had. He drove the ball right over second base. He’s in the eight year old league – it’s the first year that the players do all the pitching and catching.

He had another game this morning at 10am. After the game he and I ran home to get changed and we met up with our parish’s pastor and his wife and son and headed over to lend our support to a Summer (Polish) Festival being held at St. Michael’s R.C. Church in Cohoes, NY.

We had a brief chat with the pastor there, Fr. Peter Tkocz, who is very hospitable. The Polish kitchen was in full swing and the food was top notch. I met a bunch of great folks like Zygmund Fiegel, whose sons head and play in The Figiel Brothers Band. They had the Polkas going full blast – and played some great old time numbers. We also met with some of the vendors who will be appearing at PolishFest ’07.

If you are in New York’s Capital Region, the festival continues tomorrow, beginning with a Polka Mass at 11am. The Festival doors open at Noon and the Festival continues through 8pm. Call 518-664-1877 for more information.

After the Festival my wife and daughter joined us and we attended our Vigil Holy Mass as a family.

My son has a game Sunday morning at 10am, which my wife is covering.

I’ll be at 9am High Holy Mass and 11:30am Holy Mass, after which Fr. Andrew and I are headed off to Syracuse.

Our Bishop Ordinary, the Rt. Rev. Dr. Anthony Mikovsky will be conferring Confirmation on the youth of the Holy Cross Parish just outside Syracuse. It will be great to see the Bishop and assist him during the Holy Mass and Confirmation.
