Yesterday was Neatnik's grade's annual class mass. Fr EB was the celebrant. We like EB: he's intelligent, personable, and had an interesting career before entering the seminary.
So, EB announced at the beginning of the homily that we were celebrating mass for the third graders. Then he noted that most of the third graders were sitting up in the choir loft, singing. He next declared, "I am going to literally preach to the choir today."
Poor guy: he didn't get as many laughs for that one liner as the toddler who yelled, "Yeah!" after the choir finished singing the offertory hymn.

lol... you have a good priest w/ a nice sense of humor.:)
3rd grade...wow, she's getting so grown up!
Did he get any groans?
Sounds like the time my toddler applauded after the sermon of a friend's wedding. There's nothing like those chubby palms slapping together to make a very proper Lutheran minister, and Father of the Bride, get the giggles.
Hehe :) What a funny guy.
Poor fellow needs to taylor his skills to his audience.
"Preaching to the choir..." I love that!!! (although I can't help but admit that the kid cheering on the hymns made me chuckle pretty hard)
