A woman awaits the priest who will wash her feet before entering the labyrinth. Despite that their dogs were unable to complete the walk (St. Francis told them it was better to be dead than to particpate), most walkers enjoyed the maze. “We didn’t have to bother with crossing over useless kneelers. I just hate having to endure pain or bothersome obstacles in order to seek out God.”

Basillica of St. Canis Major
Weekly Bulletin – 4th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Mission Statement:
An inclusive parish, we welcome all Christians regardless of race, gender identification, or species. In fact, it is our custom to distribute Communion to both species. How can we not? At least the dogs don’t wear shorts and halter tops to Mass.
” The Basilica catholic church in Aparecida do Norte issued an apology to dog owners this week when they realized the embarrassing mistake of not providing dog ‘catchers’ at the all-species, charismatic round up last weekend. No animal was harmed in the distribution of the Spirit.”
Perhaps it’s a miracle that they’re in the ‘Cat’holic Church. The only question is, are dogs granted a dispensation from communion since Jesus said,’Do not give what is Holy to the dogs’? But it’s an undisputed fact that ‘God’ is ‘Dog’ spelled backwards.

Patrick,
Hey, maybe thats why Jesus said not to give what is holy to dogs. It would kill them!
Highly amusing – judging from the prone position of these dogs, however, I would suspect they came to Mass hoping to find the One of Whom they heard. They need the Man who makes lame beagles walk and blind mutts see.

At the the Canines for Charismatics workshop, guide dogs are trained to lead their owners in being ‘slain in the spirit’.

The Dogs understand the hymns!

They shoot [dogs], don’t they?
pardon my ignorance, but what’s a labyrinth walk?
“Down in adoration falling….”
But that would mean ducks or geese, wouldn’t it?
(Save the liturgy, save the world…)

Looks like the Canis-matic healing priest has been here!
Meet the new liturgical dancers at Our Lady of Angles.
Look! It’s Bishop Wuerl rolling over and playing dead for Nanci Pelosi!
What were those dogs doing inside the church? Maybe they just wanted to lie down on the cool floor….it’s summertime in Brazil right now.
Teresa B-funny post! We love our ‘German Shepherd’!
