"OHHHHK-lahoma, where the wind comes sweepin’ down the plain…"

Grab and Go Food Kit… 3 servings per day for 1 adult for 4 weeks or 4 adults for 1 week
They want us to sing something from the Saint Louis Jesuits…
I don’t think so.
I’m sorry, but you must be this tall to ride the roller coaster.
Tu es Sacerdos in aeternum. Kinda short Sacerdos, though.
Birds of a feather, flockin’ together. Flap, flap, flap.
A flock of friars? A cluster of clergy? A herd of hermeneuticalists?
Coming up on CBS…
Survivor….Vatican edition.
“Amazing how Bishop Hardcheeks can take his slaps and keep right on a smilin’. Just tremendous. Give him a good one this time!! You go, Hardcheeks!!”
“…and so the Rabbi says to the Priest…”
Civil Rights? What Civil Rights?
Even with mitres you only come up to here.
(Can I take a second go?)
sings “Hi-ho, hi-ho, it’s to work we go.”
For not having a miter that matches your brothers, I say “Off with your head!”
“We will continue to exercise our right to Receive standing”.
It is Chant class for bishops: “Here is Dooooh” …
“So… chant does make you taller….”
“I think the speaker said, ‘It makes you grow in your faith’.”
“Close enough for Vatican work.”
PAY ATTENTION!
FOURTH arm position FOURTH I said with the arabesque before then entrechat quatre!
Plie, jete, plie, jete, pirouette!
Arrrrgh…this Corps de ballet!
I’ll put up the same one I put on the Papist Facebook page.
“No, no, not ‘ra ra ra ra’, ‘la la la la’! Try again. ”
Ten points to the person who knows where it is from without looking it up.
Coach Fr. Vinny Lombardi rallies his team at half-time in the Men’s Synchronized Bishops competition.
“Pay attention back there! I’ve had it up to here with cardboard mitres and polyester chasubles!”
Andy F – “A Christmas Story”
Listen very carefully – I will say it once more “SUM-MO-RU-M PON-TI-FI-CUM” Give it a chance! Or you’ll feel the back of hand again!
“Any of you folks have an longer surplice? When I stand up from my present kneeling position, the one I have on only comes down to here.”
I’m not that creative-but the above suggestions are pretty hysterical!
Thanks, Fr. Z and Thomas the Young Papist-we need a good laugh!
The three in the back are stating: “Too bad those bishops in the front didn’t have their parking permits.”
“Just remember in the future, guys, that wearing white sheets and peaked headgear *could* be very confusing to some people.”
“Is that what ‘actuosa participatio’ means? Really???!”
Back, BACK, I say—one of you is over the line and another stepping right on it! I mean, REALLY…you’d think I’d asked you to toe a NCR or Notre Shame line!
“Yes I am serious, the Pope wants you to prepare for a night time parachute drop into the Diocese of Scranton to reinforce Bishop Martino. Expect intense liturgical and catechetical ground conflict.”
