I might as well be an excommunicated Catholic now.

I’m pretty sure we had to show up for school as normal at 830 am on November 1 and other Holy Days of Obligation. We went with our class to 9 am Mass, then back to the school until about noon when we were dismissed.

One year November 1 was on Wednesday. Then November 2 on Thursday was All Saints Day, Mass with our class then back to school for a full day. Then November 3 was First Friday, and repeat the routine again.

Church three days in a row!!! I don’t know if that First Friday of the month is a thing anymore.

Well, we really didn't go to mass too much. I went during school. We were Catholic, but we weren't good Catholics. We mostly went to that school because the area public school wasn't very good.

I was from a family that had constant headaches from imaginary halo's that were on to tight. In my family we, at one point had one Franciscan Monk, One Brother of Christian instruction and two nuns. We would visit my Grandparents every Saturday night and anywhere between one and five priests would be in attendance. We couldn't leave the house unless we had multiple "blessings".

That is how it was for a while but the rest of the story was that the Monk, left the "calling" and came home to become a deacon in the local church. A deacon that drove past his elderly father, whose car had broken down by the side of the road because he consider his Dad immoral. The Brother of instruction lasted about one year and came home doing random jobs for a number of years before he destroyed his liver with alcohol and died before his 60th birthday. The two nuns were actually sisters, as in same mother and father. They both spent a few years in until the oldest one mysteriously became pregnant and left the convent to be a single mother and her sister left a few months after but without drama. She came home got married and had three children. Myself, I haven't been in a church for so long that if I am asked to go to witness a wedding or baptism, etc. I send engineers in to check the structure because I don't want it to fall on me. I always thought it was my mother that pushed the religious thing, but when my father passed she was only about the same age as I am now, and decided that someplace in the bible it said that after you reached 70 you didn't have to go to church anymore. Life do take some mysterious turns.

One of the funniest things I ever heard was on a Christmas Day at my Grandparents house the local priest had been invited for Christmas dinner. My father was sitting by a window and saw him walking down the driveway slipping and sliding and trying not to fall down. When he finally got in the house, my father looked at him and said he was glad to see him but thought for a while he was going to be like St. Joseph. When the priest asked why, my father said, well I saw you coming down the driveway and was pretty sure that you were going to come riding in on your a$$. My grandmother turned many shades of red along with a number of my aunts. The priest just thought that was the funniest thing he ever heard. It probably was and my father still had a path to heaven.
