We can't make this up: The Blessing of the Toilet Paper
(RNS) Our guess is that they prefer Angel Soft.
"I have never been so down on my luck that I had little or no access to toilet paper ~ but that is not the case with many people. We at the Congregational Church of Patchogue want to thank you for helping us to help people meet their most basic needs: simple foods, toilet paper, soap, feminine hygiene products and other items. This photo is from "The Blessing of the Toilet Paper" at the church. We serve people without regard or question as to their address, age, preferences, orientation, ethnicity. The only requirement is that they seek what we have to offer. And what we can offer is up to you. Please send contributions to The Congregational Church of Patchogue, 95 East Main St. Patchogue, NY 11772. Write pantry or TP in the memo section. 100% of contributions go to purchase much needed items. Thank you, Rev. Dwight Lee Wolter." Photo courtesy of Rev. Dwight Lee Wolter
