I went to share St. Patrick's Day in another town with a friend, and we both attended Mass at the local church there wearing out kilts. No comments were made, though I think I caught a few looks and smiles. I think that the congregation was more focused on the fact that their pastor had just had a heart attack the night before.

I attended the national gathering of my order (Secular Franciscan) this summer, and got lots of positive comments, even met several kiltmakers among the attendees. One friar I just saw again, though, commented that he was glad to see that I do wear pants, oy!
