Some of the girls might remember the time we got this new red headed priest named Father Fitzpatrick. He came over to meet the girls when I was in sixth grade. It was in the evening and we didn't see much of men on our side, so when he came, we were all so excited to talk to him and he seemed so nice, but later, Sister Joseph started yelling at us saying we were distracting him from his priesthood by swarming up to him. Shows where her mind was, not ours.

Anyhow the first time he held confessions the girls were passing rumors around saying he yells a lot when you confess to him so when it was my turn to go in, I couldn't even think of a sin so I told him I lied. I was so scared that I had to tell him I had to go to the bathroom, and he kept saying he needed to say the extremunction or what ever that was they used to say. I told him I couldn't hold it, I had to leave so I stepped out of the confessional and I was peeing my pants all the way down the isle and he yells out , " that will be 10 hail Mary's". I left the chapel and went straight to the bathroom. There was an older girl there and she was laughing because of what happened. I was so humiliated.

There are so many stories I can tell but I'll control myself for now.
