The official Roman Catholic thread

Nothing less than ordinations for me

yeah, I was serving Mass at a senior level from 8 years of age

Father Pat’s bell end really made an impression.

You obviously never mentioned lying in confession so.

I served at my own confirmation and said the mass as well.

we had a great day out in Knock in 87 for an altar boys day out, a load of us went up in a minibus. There was lads from 3 parishes, the local principle and parish priest organised it

Fr Frank, lord of mercy on him, took a few of us to a Leinster final, McDonalds and a puck around in Phoenix Park afterwards. He was a character and great man in the community. He is sorely missed.

I remember a trip to Knock once, we took two mini buses. Just as we were about to set off, the local priest comes running up to our mini bus hollering for us to hold up. He gets to the bus, looks in the door, and asks in there room for one more. Of course there is Father says me auld fella, is everything ok? Oh it is, it is says he, I just got snookered in the second bus there with the women and I’m fucked if I’m going to be saying Rosarys for them all the way from Laois to Mayo. He then proceeds to pull out the deck of cards and away we go.

Good times.

May he RIP.

Eid Mubarak to all TFK’s Roman Catholics celebrating around the world.

Little bit of useless information for you . Ferrero Rocher sales are higher for Eid than at Christmas in the U.K

I think the only comparable crowds there are for rugby football games @mikehunt

Pilgrimage season ended last Sunday week so it was stunningly peaceful on Our Lady’s Island this morning.

God bless you all.
