Gerald posts on the "Catholic-Christian community" of Corpus Christi in Aliso Viejo in the Diocese of Orange, California having a Halloween Mass. Where the parishioners are invited to wear costumes. Afterwards they are planning to carve a "Fred-o-lantern." The following is my favorite part of their notice.
Our God is
not threatened by carved vegetables
Sounds like something for a hymn.
Our God is an awesome God
He reigns from heaven above
Our God is
not threatened by carved vegetables
Our God is an awesome God
Now it might be one thing if they had specified that they come dressed up as saints, but even that reduces the Mass to that of something less than worship. The idea of a Communion line with witches, ghosts, Jasons, and assorted super heroes and monsters is pretty scary though.

More appropriate than coming “dressed up as saints”, perhaps, would be to ask the parishioners to come *as saints* on earth, dressed as children of God.
To prove how much he loves his Veggies, Larry the Cucumber presents:” A mighty crisper, is our God”? (apologies to Phil and Mike)
“A mighty crisper is our God, a drawer never failing;
Our cooler He, amid the flood of mortal heat bewilting:
For still our ancient foe doth seek to work us brown;
His craft and power are great, and, armed with cruel mould,
In Kitchen is not his equal.”
Are pumpkins vegetables, or fruits or neither?
“Are pumpkins vegetables, or fruits or neither?”
Nuts in this case.
