In times of yore, alas, no more, cruise lines had Catholic chaplains on ships, an acknowledgement to the days of obligation we papists (practicing) hold dear. So NR will bring a Catholic chaplain along on the Post-Election Cruise. Not having one readily available, I ask: If you are a padre in good standing and game to handle a temporary flock at sea for seven days, contact me at [email protected]. Cruise dates are November 9th to the 16th, from Ft. Lauderdale, and you can find complete information about the voyage at www.nrcruise.com. The inspirational picture above, by the way, is of St. Brendan the Navigator celebrating Easter Mass on the back of a whale, mistaken at first for an island.
