    Indeed! And you are correct. After just now speaking with my parish priest who called me, I will return to Church this Sunday. I'll wear my best coveralls and cuмberbund. And, that is my gallows humour for the day. 😂
    Thank you all for taking the time to respond...it helped.
    Iechyd da!

    That's a scary notion...

    Sense of humor helps man.

    Sometimes you're gonna laugh, cry, or snap, if not all three; it's better to be proactive with the first being generally preferable and so, likewise, opted for.

    None are exclusive of prayer.
    This is off topic but nevertheless, I thought I'd pass it along. The script was written by one of my mates, Mark Glenn, and the voice-over was done by a man who calls himself Snordster? Whatever.
    Anyway, it's apropos given Judea, Incorporated's propensity for taking over the planet. It's a brilliant piece of writing.

    Do you speak Welsh? The toasting with a pint of bitters means cheers! or Iechyd da! It also means good health. Or, as Bogart use to say: "Here's looking at you kid". 😂

    Is your name Jones?

    No?

    How'd that happen?

    J/k man.

    I guessed, and then confirmed with a quick bit of google-fu, that's all.

    I figured the "emoti" was safest, so as to not give false impression, and to avoid unwittingly saying something about, for example, your mother that would necessitate my gruesome demise.

    Besides, most everyone speaks beer.

    Nope, no Jones here. My name is what it is as in Dylan Thomas. A good pint of bitters or better still about three fingers of Irish Whiskey. As you know, the Irish are also Celtic. 🤯
    Incidentally, the Welsh language has no X's nor Z's. Instead, we have double LL's and double DD's. And no, don't take that and run with it, at least not in polite company.

    I am familiar with some varieties of Gaelic; matter of fact, you get stuck in a room with the TV/"Telly" whatever, you almost get an ear for it with the subtitles. It seems there are a great deal of exchange/loan words that you can glean if you can correlate the subs with the pronunciations. 

    Names help too, once you get that (translit), for example "Dayfid", or "DahOOD" or "DahWEED" = "David".

    St. David's Day is a national holiday in Wales. St. David has his own flag.

    Cool flag. That was my father's name. (David, not "Flag")

    Who's your patron?

    I have two. St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Paul. Hm, interesting, Flag was the name of an old girlfriend. Probably no relation.

    You mean "Name" and "Patron"? 

    I'm a convert, or at least I'm trying to be; I'm always trying to "catch up".

    How does one have two patron saints? I would say that I could use all that I can get, but I don't resort to the one that I have much as it is.

    The middle one, Paul, for Baptism and I took my last name for Confirmation. Generally, one sticks an extra name in the middle but I used my last name instead. The Baptismal one is the most important since that's the one that removes Original Sin.

    I know quite a bit about the Faith and Church History, it's just that I have a hard time practising what I've learned. So, no one should use me as an example of a loyal Catholic. Lately, I've been a bit wishy-washy.

    Good to know if I ever get to be confirmed.

    Thanks for the info.
