Sometime Friday an usher’s wife called Maw and cried to her about the husband wanting to resign from “serving the Lord” that day. There was an incident in which a group of alleged “Viets” got a hold of a locked combination and may have taken some of the contents, which could be microphones and such. The wife then went on to describe how another “Pinoy” usher got a hold of the combination and was trying to sabotage the other usher.
Here are a few of my theories:
- The first usher claimed some people might want him to get in trouble.
- There may be telepathic among the parish members who know of the combination.
- The first usher “sabotaged” himself to gain favor and sympathy with the priest.
- The second usher is jealous of the first usher and may have sabotaged the first usher.
- Someone looked over the shoulders of the first usher.

And to think I gave the second usher a “half-hug” around his shoulders as he placed his head temporarily on my left shoulder! Had I known earlier, I would have ignored the buffoon. He was waiting behind me during that early morning’s post mass reception, by the way. No wonder the Pinoy lady with the high hair-do and thick eye makeup didn’t give the cad an eye contact. She was near the table to our left.

Then during the Eurcharist of the 10:45am choir mass on Sunday, we saw the first usher still serving! For whatever reason, it appeared that he had not resigned his post after all the feeling of having of a “heart attack”. The cad is noted for talking harshly with the “Viets” of our parish because they don’t seem to care about cleaning up after themselves during the events held on parish grounds.
Prior to the closing blessings, the priest announced several events happening and said:
“[If anything happens, it’s not my problem.]”
In other words, the damn Asians can take care of themselves.

Paw had joked earlier about a scenario between the priest and the cads:
- “Father! We have sinned! We ask for your/the Lord’s forgiveness!”
- “Sons! You are forgiven. Now go in peace and sin no more!”
Maw quipped:
“The ushers are much older than the young priest!”
