If ...Don't knock Cheerios in the pew Father V! If it weren't for those tasty little morsels in the pew keeping little hands and mouths occupied during the homily, the faint din we hear would become a not-so-dull roar!! I happily gave my toddlers Cheerios during mass FOR YEARS, and once they became pre-schoolers they no longer required it. They all seem to know when it's dooughnut Sunday though - strange thing that!<br /><br /><br />Oh and I second the rant about CYO!!Elena LaVictoirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18108910015959872763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5745814378416915364.post-71622278137629041642013-12-18T09:27:01.770-08:002013-12-18T09:27:01.770-08:00That's pretty cool. Thanks for sharing.
But i...That's pretty cool. Thanks for sharing.<br /><br />But if you live in the Diocese of Cleveland, Sundays are for CYO sports (with a brief nod to Mass times by starting a little later in the day). And don't forget the CYO athletic tournaments that are regularly scheduled on big feast days (like Pentacost Sunday) or during important Catholic events (like ordinations). Oh, and if half of your team can't compete in the championship tournament because of they are being Confirmed by the Bishop... well, that's just too bad for you... because the CYO schedule is more important that the SACRAMENTS. And how about a basketball tournament scheduled for Sunday afternoon and evening on December 22nd? We get it... Sunday afternoons and evenings are for sports. Perhaps you should forward this article to the chancery. Some people in CYO leadership seem to be more concerned with keeping a program going than in honoring the Lord's Day and encouraging healthy family life. If people want sports obsessed lives, there are a hundred secular club teams they can join. CYO should be set apart. If it fails, oh well, at least we've done the right thing. <br /><br />Rant concluded. But good on Marky Mark.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
