Thought for the Day

 

“I always like to associate with a lot of priests because it makes me understand anti-clerical things so well.”

HIT BOTH THESE BABIES!

 

ANY CHANCE YOU COULD

GIVE US A SPEECH? 

 

If anyone ever asks you,
“Any chance you could
give us a speech?” say, “Yes!”
 
You’ll learn a lot!
You’ll get a lot.
You’ll get the most.
 
First, get the topic.
Next, think of the audience.
Third,  walk and then jot down headlines.
 
Pick a title.
Pick from your jottings, the best stuff.
Give your talk a few times in private.
 
Then rock and roll.
Then shoot for the moon.
Then shine like a Blue Moon.

NOVEMBER 9

Today we Redemptorists celebrate our birthday: beginning on November 9,  1732 in Scala, Italy.
We arrived here in the United States 

100 years later: June 20, 1832.

There is a saying in the Catholic Church, 
"If a religious order makes it for 300 years, 

it will make it from then on  in." Hope so....

Say a prayer for more members to join us.

Here's part of an interview when I was at

St. Mary's Parish, Annapolis, Maryland.
Thanks.  Andy Costello - now at San Alfonso Retreat House, West End, New Jersey
