I have to tell you a story about my sister, Alison. Every Wednesday our grade school would let the Catholics go to CCD (religious training) at St. Joseph’s Church. Alison and I would walk there, downtown in a town of 400 plus college students, with friends Christine and Roger.
Alison was probably in 2nd grade and in a different class than her big sister, thank goodness. This day, Sister passed out envelopes, a box of 52 for each student with their name stamped upon every one. The system was designed to assure that every student/parishioner could be counted upon by name for giving at Mass every week.
Alison raised her hand and Sister called upon her. Alison said “I won’t be needing these,” pointing to the envelopes. Sister asked “why not?”
Alison replied “Because we go to Mass at St. Anthony’s down the street.”
It’s amazing they let me into a Catholic college after that! Enjoy. We’ve been sharing many stories over the past week.
Now I need recipes. Dee
