The Cat and the Rooster
Sula for 15 years a beloved staff member, although a cat, at Old Mission San Juan Bautista, served parishioners faithfully until August 24, when she died with her "work boots on" after fighting cancer for ten years and succumbing only to the 6th bout. Her story has been told in many posts of this blog, all over the Internet, and in a memorial story on KSBW , a Central Coast California television station, that was carried by other stations, as well. See more posts about Sula HERE . Now, let us introduce Bubblegum, a young white rooster. Bubblegum showed up at the first Mass after Sula passed away, walking down the aisle like Sula did, and standing in front of the altar like Sula did. Bubblegum has since attended a funeral Mass and the full two-hour meeting of the Sula Committee making plans for Sula's funeral and memorial. Interestingly, Bubblegum (pictured here) is white with grey tail feathers like Sula was white with a gray tail. S
