Travels of the Teddy Bears

The two teddy bears arrived home Sunday 16 March and are staying with Gae and Elvio.


bccb St Patrick's Day Story  bccb

Paddy was driving down the street in a sweat because he had an important meeting and couldn't find a parking place.   Looking up to heaven he said, 'Lord take pity on me.   If you find me a parking place I will go to Mass every Sunday for the rest of me life and give up me Irish Whiskey!'

Miraculously, a parking place appeared.

Paddy looked up again and said, 'Never mind, I found one.'


St Patrick's Day 

Most years St Patrick's day is March 17

Did you know that this year St Patrick's Day was March 15 because it was changed by the Catholic Church to avoid conflict with Holy Monday that falls on 17.March 2008

Holy Monday: “During holy week we are given a chance to reflect on and re-live the last hours of Jesus’ life”© 2008, Opus Dei Information Office  We also want to point out that The Da Vinci Code’s depiction of Opus Dei is inaccurate, both in the overall impression and in many details, and it would be irresponsible to form any opinion of Opus Dei based on The Da Vinci Code.


 

Trivia       

Name the two members of the club whose names are anagrams of 'Clean inane demon.' and 'Trusty on ignorance.'   If you can work out one,  you are pretty darn good,  If you can get them both, you are a genius.
