do you think the bread they give at mass looked appetising?

@MellyMel22 that's a good description

@HijabaDabbaDoo Me and my friends used to sneak out of there w/our donation money and buy candy across the street right after communion 🤣 Then someone started watching us and making us get signed out 🤣

@MellyMel22 it's okay, we all have a past sister Mary-A-Nara

That's literally the whole plot of sister act

@HijabaDabbaDoo You’re right, Sister Mary Juana.

I saw that movie and don’t even remember that 🤣 We used to sit in the back row so we could sneak out one at a time. CCD required us to go Sundays.

@MellyMel22 I've seen it way too many times so I'll never forget.

What's CCD?

@HijabaDabbaDoo Its basically religion classes to prepare for the sacraments. I grew up in the Bronx and my public school actually had a bus that took us there. That’s how many kids went. Basically it’s for Catholic raised kids who go to public schools. We were right across the street from my fav pizza shop and our teachers used to buy us all pizza if we finished what we were supposed to do and listened the whole time 🤣 It was like a boring bit and then a party.

@MellyMel22 lol, I didn't know they had specific classes for Catholic kids in public schools.
I had religious education too but it wasn't just Catholicism. Quite a few different religions. That's in every school here though. Except it's more prioritised in catholic schools of course.

@HijabaDabbaDoo It’s more like a program, those in Catholic school don’t need to do it b/c it’s during their school day. I believe sometimes they do nights where I am now, but I think we did Wednesday daytime in the Bronx. They let us leave just a little bit early to go there.

I always wondered how other religions did their thing. We never heard of it though there back then.

Other than the pizza parties at the end of class, we had fun dressing up for our Confirmation sacrament. I never would’ve lasted in Catholic school instead of public 🤣
