Some non-familiar face walked onto the alter during the blessing of the Eucharist to plug his iPhone into the outlet behind the priest’s chair. He must have been itching to post after mass.

I am shocked the ushers didn’t tackle him. Baw next to me was strapped and ready to go if something stupid happened.

Put your phones down, idiots!!!

I miss simpler times like chiseling the Ten Commandments in stone.

The pews were full of people. That’s pretty strange compared to most of the time.

A bunch of faces I haven't seen since Christmas.

My church is always packed at 930 and 1130 mass. We’ve seen some shite over the years due to the vicinity to the quarter.

You should welcome unfamiliar faces in and encourage them to come back, baw.

Some guy kept looking around taking notes of people on a pad. Not sure why.

We do. After every mass, we ask them to stand if it’s their first time. They love it.

If you’re ever in town and want to head over, hit me up.

To be fair, I'm pretty sure the catechism doesn't offer specific guidance on the proper iPhone charging decorum and procedure during mass.

I / my family went to Easter Mass for the first time in years. It was my boys (2yrs) first service outside of Christmas services, everyone was very welcoming and seemed happy to have a new young family attend - even if I did have to leave 6 times because he kept insisting he needed a wee...

The thing I noticed was there was not one fatty there. It made me wonder if it was because of a) the teaching against gluttony or b) fattys probably aren't disciplined enough to turn up.


The sermon had slight changes to how my old priest used to do it and that irked me. Not least using the word "your" instead of "thy".

6/10, likely to do it again

We went to Vigil Mass last night.

Priest dropped the freaking Chrism Oil during confirmation of new candidates. Somehow, the jar didn't shatter. How I don't know, but he picked it right back up and went through with confirmation.

Told my wife that at least he didn't drop the wine.

All those chants were designed to be sung in Latin and they don't sound right in English. Can't imagine what they sound like in Chinese or Swahili.

I usher at noon Mass weekly and saw an unfamiliar lady wearing a bow in her hair that made her look like she was trying to relive her years as a toddler.

Lady was way too old to be wearing a bow let alone one the size she had in her hair.

DOGE doing work and making holiday overtime. Protecting the American MAGA ideology from radical religious, social and historical narratives that might allow someone to think that perhaps Jesus and the disciples may not have been blue-eyed Caucasians who built this country.
