Bloopers and Typos
May God forgive me ... in preparing this week's notices, I have just typed:
Alleluia, alleluia!
The spirit of the Lord has been given to me.
He has sent me to bring good newds to the poor. Alleluia!

Our last-but-one PP prepared a service booklet for an anniversary mass, attended by the Mayor. In the introduction it stated that "The Mayor will be welcomed at the door, and conducted to her seat in the font". It's not a very big font, but there is plenty of room at the FRONT of the church!

I once typed "bread and wind" in an order of service for Maundy Thursday evening....

I've managed
"He bums with holy fire" and "Dying you destroyed our life" in the same service sheet.

And then there was the wedding of two doctors (important to remember this) which had
"Raise the gland strain, alleluia!"
It also had
Christ had died,
Christ is risen,
Christ has come again.
(and I thought "Darn! Missed it.")

I saw this on a youth Mass sheet (no copyright acknowledgment):
Agnus die, you take away ....
The Australian Lamb of God maybe?

"Communion Snog" raised a few eyebrows here a year or so back.
Re: Bloopers and Typos
Browsing through the catalogue of a well known Church Suppliers, sourcing items for our new school chapel, I came across a statue of "St Pancreas" - patron saint of alcoholics, no doubt!
Re: Bloopers and Typos
Some years ago we had "Next Sunday is Remembrance Sunday. Poppy's available in the porch". - we all have our own way of marking this sad occasion!

Re: Bloopers and Typos
In this week's parish newsletter...
It's good to know that Our Blessed Lady didn't travel alone.
‘Mart set out, and went as quickly as she could to a town in the hill country of Judah. She went into Zechariah’s house and greeted Elizabeth.

Re: Bloopers and Typos
As the one 'blessed' with doing the weekly bulletin in my parish for the last nine years, I'm just waiting for/dreading the day when I accidentally RIP someone who is not yet RIPed in the Mass intentions. This happened to my predecessor but fortunately the RIPee saw the funny side of it and was able to confirm in person that 'reports of his death had been grossly exaggerated'!

Re: Bloopers and Typos
I remember the sick, dead and 'anniversaries about this time' were being remembered in the Bidding Prayers, and we all prayed hard for L.Dead. The reader started laughing as she realised that this was the heading for Lately Dead - not the best time in the Mass to be laughing.
I hve also been to Masses where we have been invited to 'Pray for those sick of the Parish'
