When I was a kid in Catechism class, we used to make up names for churches, like: "Our Lady of Perpetual Motion", "Our Lady of the Pyrrhic Victory", "Our Lady of Bingo", etc.

Hey, we have a breakaway formerly Episcopal church here right along I-75. I mean, it's right on top of the road.

We call it "Our Lady of the Interstate."

"Our Lady of Dormition", which I attended faithfully for two decades (before I started actually going to church).

You must read this book!

Chapters include - Questions we didn't have the nerve to ask, What to give nuns for Christmas, Father 'What a Waste' ... the book is hillarious!
