Just because

Update: Ellen From Across the Net wins the caption contest that wasn't with this one:

The Four Horsemen of the Motu Proprio.

  1. From left to right:
    Fr. Vino, Fr. Biretta, Fr. Pepper and Fr. Anonymous.

    Great picture. I just couldn't resist naming the new four horsemen of the motu propio.

  2. Gee, I didn't know there was a contest. What do I win???? A trip for two to Hawaii? A new car? A vacation home in St. John? A mantilla to wear to Latin mass? Or my favorite from my days in Catholic school - a folded tissue and two bobby pins???

  3. Is that you way of saying I won the folded tissue and two bobby pins?

    I guess being quoted on your blog is reward enough.

  4. Is number 2 from the left Fr. Biretta or Fr. Beeretta?

    Is that Fr. Jason Prati on the left? If not, it must be his twin!

  6. So Fr. Jason is on the red horse, and you're on the lame brown one.

    ;-)

  7. It is the one and only, Guadalupe.

    I shouldn't be laughing at that, Thom, but I can't help myself.

    Well, this is a HUGE coincidence; I was planning to contact Fr. Prati to tell him that I hope that when Athens gets a new priest, it's HE. I didn't expect to see him here, being a relative newcomer to your blog.

    True humorous story: I know someone who attends the parish where Fr. Prati is the school chaplain. One weekend, they told us that the priest there (I assume it was Fr. Prati) said the Mass prayers in something that sounded like Italian!!

    Guadalupe..It is I, Fr. Jason Prati. I would love to know how you know me! And yes, by the requests of my students at the high school, I pray the Roman Canon at school Masses in the Mother Tongue of Holy Mother Church...Latin. Except, I am Italian and I sounds very close. But, yet...where does Italian come from?...LATIN! lol.. Grace and Peace!

    Hah! Fr. Jason -- I actually don't know you at all, but after reading the few things you wrote in our diocesan newspaper, I knew that you were my kind of priest!

    And -- you won't believe this -- I have right in front of me the diocesan paper with your ordination story in it. This is because a friend of mine and her husband (Lyn and Chuck, if you remember them) attended your ordination, and I had promised her that I would mail her the article. Well, five years later, it's setting here in a priority mail envelope. Ack.

    I've been teaching my kids Latin for a few years, so when I heard the "sounded like Italian" comment, I really cracked up!

    Anyway, we could really use someone like you in Athens, where there at at least 5000 students who identify themselves as Catholic.

    Fr. Daren, thanks for letting me use your blog space for this correspondence!

  13. Fr. Where's your own biretta. You know the cassock & cotta set isn't complete without it.

  14. My biretta is sitting on a shelf in my sitting room back at the parish.

  15. I wish I could describe the joy one feels at seeing such youthful priests not afraid to look the part.

  16. I think you just did very nicely, Carolina.

    I neglected to mention my surprise that the Unnamed Priest on the right is also Commander Tucker of the Starship Enterprise.

  18. I hope that's good...I'm not a Star Trek fan. I'll pass it on to him and see how he takes it.

  20. Thanks, G! (I never thought I'd say that!)

    I should Fr. Anonymous the link - he doesn't watch Star Trek, either - and he smiled and laughed.
