SaintOlaf Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 I work for the CVS Pharmacare Corporation (or whatever their calling it now) and every October we have our company wide Diversity Day. Previously I never took much interest in it, just showed up like normal and did my job, but the last year or so have been especially trying for me at work in regards to my faith and moral stands on certain things. For Diversity Day all employees are encouraged to don a native dress, or style (as long as it's work appropriate), bring an ethnic dish to pass or something of that nature. I want to do something awesomely Catholic, but I have no idea what to do. Anyone have any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prose Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Ummmm... Dress like Jesus and bring some manna? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatherineM Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 If you're a knight, then tux would be in order. How about a typical Catholic school girl costume. Do you have the knees to pull it off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggamafu Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Dress like Fulton Sheen (with cape, of course) and bring in both hot cross buns and pretzels, explaining the meaning and history behind them. I'll probably think of other ideas later... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggamafu Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 You could dress like the swiss guard!!! Or you could find some tee shirt with a bunch of faces from all different cultures and explain that you represent the one Church for all humanity.

CatherineM Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 I like the Swiss Guard idea, or how about a Catholic ninja? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmotherofpirl Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Go as a religious and say your a mermber of the Body of Christ family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missionseeker Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 there is a book (of course I would tell you a book ) it's a cook book, cookingwith the saints - lots of Catholic recipes for feast days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prose Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 (edited) [url="http://www.catholicculture.org/culture/liturgicalyear/recipes/"]http://www.catholicculture.org/culture/lit...alyear/recipes/[/url] As for dress, on a more serious note, I would just wear what you would normally wear to Mass, or wear an obvious crucifix. Here is a page of Catholic costume ideas : [url="http://www.costumzee.com/tag/catholic/"]http://www.costumzee.com/tag/catholic/[/url] CAUTION SOME RACY COSTUMES ON THE SITE.

Balthazor Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Hmm.... Do you think for diversity day you would get in trouble for showing up in "black face"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corban711 Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 diversity day...that totally reminds me of the office! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximilianus Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 (edited) That would be some serious dedication to dress like a Swiss Guard in dress uniform. Those uniforms are not easy to make. I like cmotherofpirl's idea. Go as a brother. Fasioning a habit and scapular wouldn't be too hard. It would be historical, contemporay and simultaniously cover all kinds of cultures, races, and nationalities. That's pretty diverse.

SaintOlaf Posted September 24, 2008 Author Share Posted September 24, 2008 Man, I would feel really weird and awkward dressing up as a monk or something like that. Since I have to wear a tie normally, I might buy a very Catholic tie and wear a nice big crucifix. Thanks for all the suggestions, I was drawing a complete blank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommas_boy Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Bring a keg of beer. Tape to it a short description of the history of it being brewed in monasteries so that monks could keep their fasts. Everyone will love you for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommas_boy Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Oh, and come dressed as a monk, too. It'd be a riot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
