Ever See Anyone Mess Up At Mass

It wasn't actually a mess up on our part, but I remember during Mass the PA system started picking up radio conversations for the local airport tower.

The pilot couldn't find the runway, and said he was following the river. The tower asked him " which river", and the pilot said " you got TWO rivers?' The whole congregation cracked up.

LOL

Those are some funny stories.

I just starting as an acolyte this week at my seminary. I'd never been one before (I'm much more used to being a Eucharistic Minister) and my seminary has a minor basilica...so...

My bro (who was serving) set the carpet on fire with the incesence once. A nun jumped out of the pew and started beating the heck out of the carpet that was on fire with the insence coal as the priest kept saying Mass....... :crackup:

Bishop Dominic Carmen fell sound asleep in the presider's chair at my brother's First Holy Communion. When people realized he wasn't 'praying silently' everyone busted out laughing and he woke up :lol:

Father's dog Priscilla used to attend Mass and sleep over on the top step by the wall. One day his sermon was a bit boring and it was hot and she snored, rolled over, and fell off the step, with a very surprised yelp. Woke everybody up.

I sing in the choir at my church, and I can't tell you the number of times we've messed up. This weekend, I was cantoring the Eucharistic Prayer (which we do ALL the acclamations, and there are a lot of them). Well, we have the words that the priest says in the little book thing that we sing out of, and I was following along, making sure I sang at the right times, and I'm not sure what happened, but the painist played the intro into the acclamation and I just didn't sing it, and then I realized I was supposed to be singing, so I sang it, but it was SO obvious that it wasn't in the right place and that it was really awkward and I got some really interesting looks from the congregation.

But, that's nothing new... Just part of being a musician at church. Those things happen all the time.

A friend of mine once lit her hair on fire while altar-serving. Shortly after that the church got different candles with better holders.

One time on a retreat, the priest told a story before mass and everyone sat right away. He chuckles and asks everyone to stand up for the opening prayer. It is good when the priest is cool about it though. Eases the tension.

in the choir you learn real fast that you just get thru the songs okay your fine.....

and i've done my share of solos (when i wasn't suppose to have one! LOL) and after being the choir it just doesn't get any embarassing cuz after so many its like okay LOL

but its hard to sing in front of ppl in mass.....especially when they give you weird looks when things don't go right! :rolling:

It was near the end of mass, priest was giving anoucnements etc and the reader's cell phone goes off in her purse (which was with her at the alter.)
