[Magdalen] bulletin blooper

[Grace Cangialosi]

Ah yes, I've presided at many of those Episco-Combo funerals, and they are always a challenge! No matter what part of the service I invited the visiting clergy to take, they always managed to "say a few words," often of the type you mentioned, Ginga. But I made sure that my homily always came after all that so I could be sure there was at least some mention of grace.

But we never had quite as wonderful a typo as you did! "God's celestial sore" indeed!
