       A shortage of priests may make it impossible too for every
       church to have Masses on Sundays as they might want.

       Almost all parishes have Mass every day, and three of four times
       on Sunday. If there needed to be a cutback, Sunday Mass would be
       the last place it would happen.  There are a few rural churches
       out in the sticks that do not even have a priest, but thats very
       rare.

       priest may have one or two missions in addition to the  parish
       church.

       Aaron wore the bells around the hem of his robe to signify he
       was about to minister before the Lord and they would ring when
       he went into the Holy of Hollies and it would keep the people
       from dying because they could not look inside , no one but Arron
       at the time. Me too now, but the bells aren't needed when I am
       alone all the time but i do go into that same place with the
       Lord.

       Thanks, Colin.  Will look up Aaron and the bells.
       I think the bells at Mass are, in effect, to say, "Take off your
       shoes. You are standing on holy ground."  The Lord is present,
       here, now, among us.
       Always a wonderful thing!
