Happy birthday to you - and to your spirit

Post by Calum Cille »

This morning in Beul an Aba parish, we were all asked to applaud a quite elderly parishioner and sing Happy Birthday to her - both during mass and in the hall afterwards. A new take on the term "double".

While I know a parish where the children sing "Happy Birthday, dear Jesus" on Christmas Day!
