Having sampled “Nakatish” Meat Pies, and having jawed endlessly with clerics, and having delivered talks and having mactated the Victim in a solemn manner, I head home to a colder clime.
My thanks to the nice people I met in Natchitoches.

About this blog…
“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

Nice. First class, just like this site.
[I was actually in Bergoglio Class, aka Economy.]
You were such a blessing to us Fr. Z! Thanks for coming and know that there’s always a meat pie here with your name on it!
Know any good communities in the Indianapolis area? How about Columbus, OH?
Ah, I notice the divider hanging there now.
I want to look at some of Fr. Z’s God Bless Our Priest coffee mugs for a priest who will be ordained 67 years this year, but I can’t seem to find them anymore on the Cafepress store. Anyone got any ideas?
@MikeJDP Look up Fr. John Hollowell of Indianapolis and Brazil, IN, and his blog, on-this-rock.blogspot.com. He’s great.
Siculum,
Two options. 1. Inquire as to whether Fr. Z. has plans to make any “God Bless Our Priest” coffee mugs. If so, you need only wait for them to be stocked before ordering some. If he says the item will remain permanently out of stock, then 2. Purchase the bumper sticker from Fr. Z. (maybe along with a few more items to equal the cost you would have contributed for the original mug) and use it to make your own mug. Instructions below:
