Festival season is upon us


I have plenty of fond childhood memories of our annual parish festival, always held towards the end of the summer. There would be good food - because hey, Catholics love to eat - some rides, some games, a chance to win a car - usually a Mustang - and of course, some blackjack and beer for the adults.

What's not to love?

Of course, I have a few friends who can't quite relate. Which made me realize something else: Catholics hold festivals. Protestants tithe.

Wouldn't it be cool if we did both - hold the annual festival AND never have to hear another homily on the roof fund?
