during advent, Lent, and the Easter Season” (“Catholic Funeral Traditions”). Catholics have very strict requirement when it comes to their beliefs with the dead, more stricken then what us at Shipman Funeral Home are used to. Second, Catholics believe in having a vigil service before the funeral mass. This vigil service is what we are used to as a visitation service. The Roman Catholic Diocese of Albany explains that family and friends come to the vigil service and pray over the deceased’s and the priest, deacon, or lay minister will deliver a few scripture readings. The diocese also goes on to explain that only hymns are allowed to be played during a vigil, they do not accept any other music. During a vigil service members of the family and also friends are allowed to say words of remembrance about the deceased.

Nevertheless, the joy of the Lord and sincerity was evident in everyone I encountered. Rather…

Being involved in the community will change ones life. It was my senior year in high school until I realized what happens when one gets involved in their community.

Irving uses satire to criticise religion and how not all religious icons (Popes and Deacons) are perfect and don't do bad things like everyone else. In “The Devil and Tom Walker” Tom the main character and his wife care more about…

ago, during one of my pastoral anniversaries. During the anniversary ceremony, deacon publicly disapproved of my leadership skills as a pastor.

Usually, if any member of the staff has a problem with my leadership, there is definitely a time and place to express their grievances with me…
