The priest was trying
to comfort one of his parishioners. "Mr. Kelly", he
said, "you shouldn't be bitter. You must be thankful."
"Thankful!" exclaimed Kelley. "Just what do I have
to be thankful for, I ask you? I can't even pay my bills."
The priest thought for a bit, then said brightly:

So the boy yelled out, "Hip, hip, hooray!" |
In the last few weeks, I have added two features
to the Web site to help you find out in a timely fashion about
resources for those involved in faith formation and education:
Catholic Faith Education Yahoo Group
- The purpose of this group is to post information on resources
available for the faith education of Catholics of all ages.
It is meant as a place to share information with others who
are involved in catechesis, RCIA, CCD program, Catholic school
teachers, Sunday School, youth groups, home schooling, adult
faith programs... or any other form of faith formation.
Only messages with information on resources directly
of interest to those involved in the education of the faith
of Catholics will be accepted. These can be free resources available
on the Internet or products available through publishers.
Please consider sharing with others! To join the
group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/catholicfaitheducation
