MY SUNDAY STORY - Ill be very busy tomorrow so I cant get you a new one. Heres one from a year ago. Heck, Ill even post it tonight.

CHOIR - A group of people whose singing allows the rest of the Parish to lip-sync. HYMN - A song of praise usually sung in a key three octaves higher than that of the congregations range. RECESSIONAL HYMN - The last song at Mass often sung a little more quietly since most of the people have already left. INCENSE - Holy smoke. JESUITS - An order of priests known for their ability to found colleges with good basketball teams. KYRIE ELEISON - The only Greek words that most Catholics can recognize besides gyros and baklava. MAGI - The most famous trio to attend a baby shower. PEW - A medieval torture device still found in Catholic churches. PROCESSION - The ceremonial formation at the beginning of Mass consisting of altar servers, the celebrant, and late parishioners looking for seats. RECESSIONAL - The ceremonial procession at the conclusion of Mass led by parishioners trying to beat the crowd to the parking lot. RELICS - People who have been going to Mass for so long, they actually know when to sit, kneel, and stand. USHERS - The only people in the parish who dont know the seating capacity of a pew.
