Dearest Brethren,

The season of joy and the occasion of the birth of Arnold is almost upon us, which can only mean one thing, our annual pilgrimage to Craggy Island it but a few short weeks away and we can now announce the Programme of Dreams http://www.tedfest.org/programme.php?Action=Programme

As always, before making the arduous journey to Inis Mor seminarians should join together in prayer on our dedicated Facebook page to ask the Lord for safe passage through Sherwood Forest.

To join the closed group to meet priests your own age, listen in on the latest Tedfest gossip or simply have a bit of a laugh, click here…

Whether you are returning to Craggy on your annual pilgrimage or joining in the retreat for the very first time, we beseech you to Get Involved.... Tedfest is a community of like-minded people (A bit like St. Luke’s Youth Group with alcohol.) Taking part in the various events will ensure you get value for money and help you to make the most of the weekend. To assist the Sparkly Nun, aka Sr. Spangle (better known as ‘The Blue Nun’ after her exploits at the wedding at Clones) express your interest in events via the Facebook page in advance. You can also email the team attedfest11@gmail.com

We are looking for contestants for Teds Got Talent, The Loveliest Horse, Nuns Beach Volleyball and The Lovely Girls, but be quick, places are limited and always fill up fast.

Not everyone has a vocation to the Church and are better suited to a life lived in union with another. The Wedding will take place on Sunday afternoon and if are interested in declaring your love to your betrothed to God, before the largest gathering of fake priests and nuns off the West Coast contact us now to express your interest.

The All-Priests-and-Nuns-Five-A-Side, The Craggy Cup has by now reached legendary status for its insistence on blatant inequality amongst the sexes. Think you can take on the Nuns? Think again. Contact us to enter a team, or simply join one. Go-On-My-Son.

Give me a ‘B’ please Bob. On Craggy we only have two TV channels, 1 and the other side. So, we love a good vintage quiz show and this year we invite you to take on the challenge of Blockbusters – Craggy Island style.

Craggy Virgins always ask if you need more than one costume at Tedfest, and unless you want to smell like Father Jack’s underpants hamper for the whole weekend, we highly recommend a selection of vestments and clerical garb. This year’s themes include – Americana with extra Horses, Caribbean Beach Party and Big Fat Gypsy Priests.

Peace be Upon You in the Season of Arnold

The Blue Nun and her associates.
