Top 10 Reasons
Every Easter and Christmas our parish does an outreach to inactive Catholics. Often we will have a “Top 10 Reasons to Return to the Catholic Church” as a humorous way to get their attention. Here was our latest:
10.) Better than Sunday morning cable shows
9.) See if you’re still allergic to incense
8.) If it was good enough for Mother Teresa, it should be good enough for you
7.) Sacrament of Confession a lot cheaper than therapy
6.) Celebrate Christmas every Sunday at Christ’s Mass.
5.) Confirm that, yes, there are kids that scream even louder than yours
4.) All are welcome; only our Founder is perfect
3.) Skip your breakfast, if necessary, but not the Bread of Life
2.) We’re not a “Bible church”, but the Church that made the Bible
1.) Even with a billion members, we could still use one more
Gentle humor can dispel fears. This top ten is very clever.
Thank you, Sr. Wolf. My wife is the creative one who usually thinks up most of these “reasons” – I’ll tell her you liked them.
Great list. Hopefully it works! (The one about the screaming kids made me chuckle out loud)
God Bless.
It’s probably wrong that I want to steal this list.
Suzanne,
Feel free to use the list however you want! But if you could, I’d prefer if you note the source (http://ericsammons.com/blog/).
