Angelina Lupo decided to visit the gravesite of her late husband, Vincent, after Mass. Her retired criminal husband had been dead just one month, so Angelina thought it was time to say a prayer at his gravesite. But when Angelina arrived at the cemetery, she couldn’t find her hubby’s resting place.

Finally, she came across a grounds keeper who ushered her into a small room where the records were kept.  Poring over maps and lists of the deceased, he turned to the widow and said, “I can’t find any record of a Vincent Lupo buried here. The closest I can find is an Angelina Lupo.”

“That’s him,” she cried. “He always put everything in my name.”

It was the young deacon’s first homily after ordination, and he was very nervous. Halfway through his homily at Mass one Sunday he noticed that members of the congregation were fidgety and not paying attention. He stopped speaking and asked, “Can you hear me at the back?”

A parishioner sitting in the back pew replied, “Not really!”

Before he could re-start his homily, people in the front pews stood up and moved to the back of the church.
