Something that will not interest you,but I'm telling you anyway

Today is the feast day of St. Justin, patron saint of Lecturers and Philosophers. Not the most exciting thing to be patron saint of, but I suppose he might be like it, having been a writer and all.

The reason I know this is because my elementary school was called St. Justin. Other than that the only feast days I know are those of saints Patrick, George, Andrew and David. I have no idea when Canada's is, though I do know it's St. Jean de Brebeuf. Suppose I could look it up but I don't really care enough. And I'm lazy.

20 or so years ago schools must have celebrated their namesakes feast day. I seem to recall some sort of assembly at the beginning of every June, when interest in school started waning. I don't think Taylor has any idea what day the feast day of her school's saint would be. Although on Monday at parent council we were reminded that May is the month of Mary, so we said Hail Mary instead of the Our Father. And that was my once a month prayer.

Have I said before that I am a terrible Catholic?

Which reminds that I had better call about having this baby baptized. I want it early so it can wear my christening gown.
