The Impressive Clergyman has graced Fandom with his benevolent presence. Mass will be held at 9am, Noon, 9pm, and Midnight. All are welcomed into the cathedral to light a candle, say a prayer, or make confession. No one should come just to snigger at the unique speaking style of our guest.

((OOC: as someone who has always stumbled over her 'r' (not as bad as I used to) i find it amusing to see it down in word form *laughs* I wish Maia was in town to go enjoy the service))

Angela still only makes it to church on holidays, and only because it's a family tradition.

But she can use some tradition today, so she's in a pew for the noon service, and she might come back at midnight.

For some reason, her voice catches on the hymns, and it doesn't even ocur to her to giggle at the minister.

Having heard Father Jack left, Deb drags Carl out to Christmas Eve Mass.

A bishop with a speech impediment. They suffer through, being charitable about it.

CJmakes her way to Midnight Mass. She pauses to meditate on the Nativity in front of the church where ducks are eating shredded wheat out from underneat the baby Jesus. Breaking with the norm, she sits in the back...her cast jutting out into the aisle.

After Mass, Deb catches up with her.

"CJ! We heard about the accident? Are you doing okay? Can we help at all?"

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

"Oh, um...yeah. I'm getting better. I'm sorry, I don't remember your name." She blushes, realizing that she should know this woman, and can't think of who she is.

"Oh honey. You must have taken a bad knock on the head. I'm Debbie Novotny. I run Deb's Diva Dive." She gestures to the man behind her. "This is my partner, Carl."

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Smiling with genuine gratitude, she offers her hand. "Debbie Novotny, it is a genuine pleasure to meet you. Again. And Carl."

[pflag-mom-deb.livejournal.com]

"Well you just let me know if there's anything I can do to help. And don't be such a stranger. Come by the Dive and bring your boyfriends." Deb turns to greet some of the other (NPC) parishoners who are regulars.

Carl smiles at her. In his years on the force, he's seen a lot of car accidents. "Take care of yourself, Miz Cregg." He leans over and whispers, "She means it. Just call us, we're in the book, and she'll have dinner ready for you and delivered."
