St. Gianna Beretta Molla! Very inspiring story.

She’s awesome! Is that your confirmation saint?

Maybe you are better to post this on a Catholic site rather than a site that is mostly about chickens? These religious threads tend to cause trouble and arguments. I don't mean to be rude, but why on earth do you only want to talk to Catholics in particular and not other denominations or religions?

Theres nothing against making threads about different topics to talk about
No one ever complains about how we have an entire RP section to this site
Everyone always causes trouble on these threads though as if to shut them down
Its always the same thing too 'maybe youre better off on a site about this specific topic'
If theres no rules about it its really fair game so long as people are civil

'people like you can't seem to keep your noses out of them'..........I think that is rather rude.

I just feel these sites should be welcoming for everyone and everyone should feel free to comment or follow any post.

This kind of post is excluding lots of people for no reason other than some religious reason - and that is prejudice in my opinion.

Not trying to start anything, but they're right. Though couldve said it better.
Theres nothing unwelcoming about starting a thread wanting to talk about something specific while also welcoming others. OP never excluded other people
Just because we want to get other people together of the same beliefs to talk about it is not prejudice.
Look at the LGBT chickenkeepers thread
While I dont personally agree with that lifestyle, it started the same way as this one
People complaining about it when the OP just wanted to get others together who share interests
Its prejudice imo to try to shut down a topic just because you think it excludes others, but thats just me.
No hard feelings! Just annoying for the rest of us

I'm a Roman Catholic and I love my chickens. I believe you wondered who the patron saint was of animals (maybe only chickens?) St Anthony is the patron saint of all animals. I have a statue of him in my kitchen window with a bird on his arm. He made friends with animals and they were not afraid of him. You can probably search his name and find lots of info. I intent to do that. Will get back later!! MAY GOD BLESS ALL OUR FARM ENDEAVORS!

St Francis of Asisi is the patron saint of animals
If you read about him you'll see that he was so holy that the birds around would listen to his homilies! Wonderful man!

Have any of you ever attended Latin mass?

Yes! I do whenever I can, but my parish is roughly an hour away and we have to stand by the time we get there because its so packed

I adore your signature @Winloor

Your recent posts are also very correct! Agree! I am getting confirmed very soon. I picked St Brigid! She is Patron Saint of poultry keepers.

No actually. I’d love to, not sure if there is one near me though.

You should try to find one! I have only ever been to two, but I just thought it was amazing.
Our closest one is two and a half hours away unfortunately, so we can't go very often though.

Who is your favorite saint?

My confirmation saint is St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, so probably her. I love reading stories of the saints though, and I greatly admire St. Joan of Arc and St. Maria Goretti.

That's awesome!!! Our usual parish is about half an hour away. It is...not reverent at all though. We only go there because we have to.

 

[CrazyChicken Lady]

I will sure try to find one! I really admire St Maria Goretti as well. I feel lucky! My parish is 13 minutes away and since the new Priest came a few years ago it just keeps getting more reverent! He has even done a couple Mass ad oritiem! They were beautiful.

yeah we had that issue, when covid rolled around and stuff was closing we watched online for a while. i had many issues with this parish, it was way too liberal and protestant. peoples behavior was disgusting and it infuriated me.
it was the final straw when we were denied the eucharist multiple times when the church opened back open because we only recieve on the tongue.
i didnt even recieve on my confirmation, i got the ugliest glare from the pastor

I’m a teen.
