Join Father Patrick Aloysius Misgivings for this divine presentation of stories and one liners about growing up Catholic. From miracles and marriage counseling to bazaars and birth control, nothing escapes the good father's razor sharp Irish wit. This hilarious, interactive comedy includes a collection, a raffle and even an actual Bingo game. (18 & up) Review: “Your program was incredible. You had everyone spellbound, as you took them on your journey of laughter, dancing, singing and providing the audience with a spirituality check. You made everyone happy, you made everyone grateful that they had God on their side. You also helped us add funds to our treasury for our many causes that we support throughout the year.” Frank Connelly Jr. Grand Knight, Sacred Heart Council 5780, Madison, CT
