This Feast Day Brought to You By....

From The Eye of the Tiber:

"Alameda, CA–Following a string of church closures around the country, St. Stephen Parish in Alameda, California has announced plans to have their upcoming Pentecost Mass sponsored by Tostitos. The move comes just months after Los Angeles Bishop Jose Gomez officially changed the name of the city’s cathedral from Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels to The Buffalo Wild Wings Cathedral....

 Other recent sponsorships include The San Diego County Credit Union Feast of St. John Lateran, The Dixieline Lumber Solemnity of St. Joseph the Worker, and the controversial Godaddy.com Fat Tuesday Mass."

Let's try it! Today is the Feast of St. Benedict Joseph Labre. Butler's Lives of the Saints says, "Benedict continued his not-so-aimless wandering for several years, neglecting to take care of his personal hygiene and wearing rags. This naturally led people to avoid him, providing the privacy he wanted for his prayers."


I hereby proclaim today is the Irish Spring Feast of St. Benedict Labre!
