What Paddy Shot At

I guess I confused some people by writing early this morning – but that was really for yesterday. I am having the computer in the rectory looked at Thursday.

Today, I came over early because I was scheduled to be at the Scholars’ class at St. John’s High School. The teacher is a parishioners and asked me to come and be available for questions about Philosphy and Religion. I enjoyed it very much but I was very nervous.

It also provided me the chance to see Barbara Younger, who use to teach computers at St. Bernard’s and is now the guidance counselor at the school. We had a great visit and she brought me up to date on her children, Sean and Nicole.

Then Joan and I went downtown and got my car inspected. It had to be done by December 15th – nothing like waiting to the last minute!

At 2pm, I went to Colllin’s Funeral Home to attend the wake for Theresa Zwalick, a lovely lady from St. Catherine’s, whom I had visited about a month ago for tea. She had cancer and decided not to take more treatment and so I stopped by and she showed all the pictures of the family and we laughed. I would love to be concelebrating her funeral tomorrow but we have school confessions from 8:30 to 10am on Wednesday and I am needed here. She’ll understand. I did get a chance to see some of her children, to say a prayer, and also to talk with her grandson, Brian who was at Good Counsel and now is married and has two children.

Then I had the 4:10pm Mass for the school of religion, which was a kind of St. Lucy, Advent, and Christmas Mass combined. I talked about Lucy, who is the lovely young girl who brings Light to the dark winter of Scandanavia. She is a sign of hope that the sun will return to govern the sky for 17 hours.

Fr. Jim came by and he and I drove over to D’Carlo’s for supper with Fr. John. We spent two and a half hours dining and having a good time together.

I think I’ll go home to the rectory as those two priests made me have two margaritas! I think its time for bed.
