Small big top mass.

March 18, Tucson.
A local Catholic priest from the Tucson area celebrated a mass under the tent after the show last night.
Father Ricardo Elford is a friend of the Little Sisters. He's originally from Seattle but has been in the Southwest for a long time. He works a lot with migrants. Last night he was wearing a white robe with a stole of traditional Mexican colors. Of the Little Sisters only Sister Priscilla and Helene Renée attended; Jo had to leave on Thursday to attend to her sick mother back East. Sister Helene Renée has been with us for about a week now. She's from France and came via England, where she went through a crash course in English. There were about two dozen people there, Edith with her three-month-old baby and her family, Saul, Marvin, Jim. Father Ricardo spoke with a soft voice, too low for me to hear it as I was taking pictures from a few feet away, trying to work around the lack of light.
