INTERNATIONAL BUY A PRIEST A BEER DAY
O most esteemed, charitable and generous Reader!
Today is "International Buy a Priest a Beer Day". Much salutary information may be found on the website of "The Catholic Gentleman" HERE.
As this is rather short notice, and this Feast is of an hospitaller rather than purely doctrinal nature, the Grand Priory of England of the Order of Malta feels itself entitled to establish an Octave, applicable to the entire English-speaking world within the Order, its Members, Companions and Associates.
We are deeply indebted for this liturgical intelligence to a Companion of Malta who may one day be a beneficiary of this Feast.
Go out and do your hospitaller duty!
Please note the photograph is from some time ago, from when some of us were, indeed, very young, and modern priests may nowadays quite properly, as may girls, be offered pints.
St Hopswald of Aleyard, opn!
UPDATE - A kindly Knight has volunteered the following photograph - pour encourager les autres. And enlarge to see what he is drinking!
