A priest was being honored at his retirement
dinner after 25 years in the parish. A leading
local politician and member of the congregation
was chosen to make the presentation and give a
little speech at the dinner.
He was delayed, so the priest decided to say his
own few words while they waited. "I got my first
impression of the parish from the first confession
I heard here. I thought I had been assigned to
a terrible place. The very first person to enter my
confessional told me he had stolen a television
set and, when questioned by the police, was able
to lie his way out of it. He had stolen money from
his parents, embezzled from his employer, had
an affair with his boss' wife, taken illegal drugs
and he had given VD to his sister.
I was appalled. But as the days went on I knew
that my people were not all like that and I had,
indeed, come to a fine parish full of good and
loving people."
Just as the priest finished his talk, the politician
arrived full of apologies at being late. He
immediately began to make the presentation
and gave his talk. "I'll never forget the first day
our parish priest arrived," said the politician.
"In fact, I had the honor of being the first one
to go to him in confession."
