Fortunately, thanks to technology, I still got to hear it, even though I couldn&#8217;t be there. Our music director records all of the parish homilies and sends them to me as mp3 files so I can upload them to our <a href=\"http:\/\/saintpeterspokane.blogspot.com\/\">Keys to the Kingdom podcast<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;re back!
