Even more sought after than Bitcoin is the passcode to gain admission to the new perpetual adoration chapel at St. Ambrose. It’s a slice of heaven in the middle of Woodbury.

Like most of the rest of the world, my husband and I spent the Triduum crouched over my little laptop streaming the Holy Week services.

Even though Brigid Hadzima uses liturgical living to teach her children, ages 1 to 11, “I still love these things and I’m 34 years old,” she said. “It’s still a grounding for me. It’s a link to the past. It’s a link to my mom, to my grandma. And ultimately, it’s a link to our faith. It’s something I can see, touch, hear, and reminds me of what we’re about, where our heavenly home is, where our home is ultimately.”
