BillsNYC Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 I was an alter boy in Orchard Park. For my sister's confirmation, he was there and my job was to hold the golden staff....i was in the background pretending it was a putter.....needless to say it was taken away from me and i was asked to sit down. The guy who told me to sit down was Msgr. Popadick...how's that for a priest's name?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
