The Farmer and His Dog

A farmer named Muldoon lived alone in the Irish countryside except for a pet dog he doted on. The dog finally died and Muldon went to the parish priest, saying, "Father, the dog is dead. Could you possibly say mass for the poor creature?"

Father Patrick told the farmer, "No, we can't have services for an animal in church, but I'll tell you what, there's a new denomination down the road a piece, and no telling what they believe in. Maybe they'll do something for the animal."

Muldoon said, "I'll go right now. By the way, do you think $50,000 is enough to donate for the service?"

Father Patrick replied, "Why didn't you tell me the dog was Catholic?"

The Healing Power of Holy Water

One morning a man came into the church on crutches.

He stopped in front of the holy water and splashed some
of it on both of his legs, then threw away his crutches.

Little Johnny witnessed the scene and ran into the rectory
to tell the priest what he had just seen.

Without batting an eye, the priest said, "Son, you have just
witnessed a miracle. Tell me, where is this man?"

"Flat on his face over by the holy water, Father."

Six year old Angie and her four year old brother
Joel were sitting together in church.

Joel giggled, sang and talked out loud.

"Why not? Who's going to stop me?" Joel asked.

Angie pointed to the back of the church and said,
