  1. Religious Story

    Share Share Post
    Once upon a time there was a man named Phill McCormack who was a workman of Father Peter. Conefry. The priests house was beside the town and one day the Angelus was ringing.
    The priest said the Angelus and when he was finished Phill blessed himself and said the Angelus.
    When he finished he blessed himself very quickly.
    The priest said he blessed himself too quickly and he said "Ah that is practice Father."
