We have prayer services twice a week instead of daily mass and if he's sick or gets called away on an emergency daily mass becomes a prayer service as well! Not to mention the load he has to carry on a daily basis! Quite a few parishes in our diocese are in the same boat.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5745814378416915364.post-52406534521302466012007-05-01T20:23:00.000-07:002007-05-01T20:23:00.000-07:00-Usually the former is a male wearing a Roman Coll...-Usually the former is a male wearing a Roman Collar who provides us with the Sacraments, and the latter is a female in a pants suit-<BR/><BR/>Oh, my!

Usually the former is a male wearing a Roman Collar who provides us with the Sacraments, and the latter is a female in a pants suit who likes to go around putting sand in the holy water fonts and recruiting altar girls.<BR/><BR/>Oh, dear...did I say that out LOUD? <BR/><BR/>Our parish still calls them "Associate Pastor". But then again, we're huge so we have an army of priests. You should see our church during Saturday mornign and afternoon confessions...it is the coming of the priests. I mean, you'd think you're in a Catholic Church or something...they're coming in from all directions! <BR/><BR/>I just wish I could talk one of them into dropping in via parachute in order to complete the picture. <BR/><BR/>Not sure what all that has to do with this, but it's fun to discuss! :-)Adorohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853244433854822731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5745814378416915364.post-65149456519598329112007-05-01T17:43:00.000-07:002007-05-01T17:43:00.000-07:00Thanks Adoro.

Mr. does not exists as an actual title in the Church. It is a complete invention I believe. The only true title is Deacon - but I suppose it would be rude to argue with someone who wishes to be called - well - whatever he or she wants within reason. <BR/><BR/>It is similar to a priest who is not the pastor being titled "Associate Pastor" which was often mixed up with the title pastoral associate. I never used the title myself thinking it rather inane - not the least reason being is that IT DOESN'T REALLY EXIST. In fact, we just got a memo from the bishop not too far back - we are no longer to be referred to as associate pastors, we are to be called by the proper title parochial vicar.<BR/><BR/>What do you know? Once again I was cutting edge. ;>)Fr.

A Deacon's title is Rev. Mr. but we address him as Deacon. Just as a priest's title is Rev. but we address him as Fr. Does that make sense or I could be totally off base!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5745814378416915364.post-76321391153746716382007-04-30T18:34:00.000-07:002007-04-30T18:34:00.000-07:00I'm with mj, I actually thought that the Deacon wa...I'm with mj, I actually thought that the Deacon was addressed as Rev. Mr., also - I've heard the term used, although it always strikes me as kinda funny. And of course I also thought that he should be addrssed as "Deacon." <BR/><BR/>So the next time I see our Deacon I'll just call him "Reverend Mr. Deacon X." and see what he says. :-) <BR/><BR/>When I was in the FD we had a test because we had to know how to address our superiors. I believe some of the options for the Chief (THE Chief, that is) were "His Highness", "His Royal Highness" and some other such nonsense. It was hysterical. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the list...I'll never remember it all but I don't think I'm real likely to meet such a cast of players. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Oh, and can I say that you always find the BEST quotes!Adorohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853244433854822731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5745814378416915364.post-42571008336597798652007-04-30T13:07:00.000-07:002007-04-30T13:07:00.000-07:00Wow!
