The parish secretary typed up the Sunday service sheet. She accidentally left out the “g” in Agnus Dei. We discovered it 10 minutes before the mass. When we got to the Agnus Dei, there was uproarious laughter. I was so proud of my congregation of proofreaders! True story!
There should be more priests like Fr. Martin. We are lucky to have a humorous pastor and he brings such life to the parish all the while bringing people closer to God.
