If you are going to do 400 a day, a waterslide would probably help with the processing.

Complete with apples?

Seriously, this reminds me of Sun Myung Moon marrying 4000 couples at a time.

ROTFLOL—Some of the stuff on the list was bordering on the silly. LOL

Actually, Catholics have been doing most of the (non-silly) items on the list for a long, long time. Most parishes do their baptisms en masse the Saturday night before Easter Sunday (Easter Vigil). These masses are the most moving and joyful ones of all. What’s wonderful is the rest of the (already baptized) parish gets to renew their baptismal vows along with the catechumens:

Priest: Do you renounce Satan?
Sponsor/Catechumen: I do renounce him.
Priest: And all of his works?
Sponsor/Catechumen: I do renounce him.
Priest: And all his pomps?
Sponsor/Catechumen: I do renounce him.
Priest: Do you believe in God the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and Earth?
Sponsor/Catechumen: I do believe.
Priest: Do you believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son our Lord, Who was born and Who suffered?
Sponsor/Catechumen: I do believe.
Priest: Do you believe in the Holy Ghost, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and life everlasting?
Sponsor/Catechumen: I do believe.

It is so wonderful to renew one’s baptismal vows every year! God bless.
