Yes, I’m sure Father Gary was worn out. Is there only one priest in the Parish?
I’ve considered offering to serve as “guest lecturer” for church services.
I’m sure my sermons would be memorable.
Yes, Father Gary (that’s his last name) is our only priest. We have five Masses on a typical weekend, and he usually gets a substitute for one of them. Yesterday there was another priest (”Father A.J.,” a little Canadian gnome from over in South Carolina) for the off-site service at a high school. However, it was still a marathon for Fr. Gary.
He could probably have used a nap while Bob gave a sermon!
