Father Flip is invited to a parish to address the gathering as a guest of honour. Gladly, he accepts.
On the appointed day, Father Flip reaches the village by bus. He asks a young man passing by, “Where is the parish?”
“I’ll take you” the boy says helpfully.
They get to chatting and the young man asks Father Flip, “Why are you going to our parish?”
“I will address the congregation, child.” Father Flip said helpfully.
“Really? What will you talk about?”
“I will teach you the fastest way to get to heaven, my son.”
At this point, the young man started laughing hysterically.
“What’s funny?” Father Flip was confused.
“You want to show us the way to heaven……you do not know the way to the parish!”
