VANCOUVER, British Columbia — There was no chance that the Very Rev. Glenn Dion would change the time of his 12:30 Sunday Mass at Holy Rosary Cathedral, a couple of blocks from the site of Sunday’s Olympic gold medal hockey game between Canada and the United States.
Well aware of the game’s 12:15 start time, Father Dion said: “We have seven Masses on Sunday, and we don’t cancel any of them. Not even for a hockey game.”
Then he made a confession. The 11 o’clock Mass would be shorter than usual, he told a full congregation, some wearing Team Canada clothes and one boy wrapped in a Canadian flag.
“I’ll try to get you out of here so you can get yourself in front of a TV,” Father Dion said, before offering a prayer for “the good fellows soon to start playing for the gold.”
