Thy Geekdom Come Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 [quote name='Lil Red' post='1261019' date='Apr 30 2007, 05:25 PM']what about 'Count the words" - asking parishioners to guess how many times the priest says Jesus, God and Amen during a Mass?[/quote] If you did it, you wouldn't want them to know they were playing a game beforehand or they might be distracted by trying to count the times instead of trying to pay attention to the liturgy. Although, I'd say that playing games with the Mass probably isn't very kosher, imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franciscanheart Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 if you do a dinner/coffee house you could also sell t-shirts, rosaries, and the like. It's like doing three fundraisers at once! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't mean to say that you were playing games with the Mass so much as involving the Mass in a game. Correct me if I'm wrong...it just seemed like you were saying that. I know you wouldn't reduce the Mass to something lower than its dignity. I just don't know if I'd involve the Mass in any sort of game, but I only meant high regards for you (when I put "imho," it's usually because I don't want someone to feel as if I'm imposing on them or something).

Jaime Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 The best fundraiser I ever did was a kiss the pig contest. We had four buckets out under pictures of myself, the head pastor, the associate pastor and one of my volunteers. You put money in the bucket for the person you wanted to kiss a pig in front of everyone. You just need to borrow a pig. And we raised almost 4 grand. It cost me nothing to put on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
