Some Catholic Jokes

Some relatively clean humor…

The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun made a note, and posted on the apple tray: “Take only ONE. God is watching.”

Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies. A child had written a note, “Take all you want. God is watching the apples.”


An old Irishman, McDougal, had a loyal and faithful dog who died. McDougal went to his parish priest and asked, “Father, could you say some prayers in Mass for my dog?” The old pastor said, “McDougal, you know very well that we don’t pray for animals at Mass. Why don’t you go down to that Baptist church and ask them? I’m sure they’ll do it.” “Well, ok, Father, I think I’ll do just that. Oh, by the way, do you think they’ll be offended if I offered them $5,000 to pray for my dog?”

Father exclaimed, “Why, McDougal, you never said your dog was Catholic!”


Four mothers having lunch.

Mother 2: My son is a bishop; everyone says, Good morning Your Excellency. (And she’s very very proud)
Mother 3: My son is a cardinal; everyone says, Good morning Your Eminence. (And she’s extremely proud).
All 3 look at Mother 4 and see what she has to say.
Mother 4: Oh, my son is not a priest. He’s just a layman. And he’s 350 pounds & 7 foot 6. And when he enters the church, everyone says, OH MY GOD!!!

3 men in Purgatory were arguing about who should go to heaven first.
1st man: “I am the president of the United States, the largest democracy in the world. I deserve to go first.”
2nd man: “I am the pope, the head of the holy Roman Catholic Church. I deserve to go first.”
3rd man (Chamoru guy): “I just want to serve my penance so I can go to heaven.”
The next morning in Purgatory, they wake up and the Chamoru guy is gone! The Chamoru guy wakes up and he’s in heaven! He looks up and sees a beautiful angel slowly, slowly coming down to talk to him.
The angel says: “Hafa, Primo! Maulek ha?”

A nun, a priest, and a lawyer arrive at the gates of heaven and St. Peter greeted them. “Welcome to Heaven. We have simplified the process of admission, and all you need to do to get into Heaven is pass a simple test. Are you ready?”

The Nun said, “I’ve prepared for this moment for 73 years.”

“Okay,” said St. Peter, “spell ‘God’.”

“G-O-D.”

“Very good, Sister, enter your eternal reward.”

“That was easier than I thought it would be,” the priest said, “I’ll take my test now.”

“Okay,” said St. Peter, “spell ‘love’.”

“L-O-V-E.”

“Excellent, Pale’, enter your eternal reward.”

The third person, a lawyer, said, “Boy, is this is gonna be a snap. Give me my test.”

“Okay,” said St. Peter, “spell ‘prorhipidoglossomorpha’.”


During a Eucharistic Congress, a number of priests from different orders are gathered in a church for Vespers. While they are praying, a fuse blows and all the lights go out.

The Benedictines continue praying from memory, without missing a beat.

The Jesuits begin to discuss whether the blown fuse means they are dispensed from the obligation to pray Vespers.

The Franciscans compose a song of praise for God’s gift of darkness.

The Dominicans revisit their ongoing debate on light as a signification of the transmission of divine knowledge.

The Carmelites fall into silence and slow, steady breathing.

The parish priest, who is hosting the others, goes to the basement and replaces the fuse.

Jesus defended the lady, saying “may he who is without sin cast the first stone”.

No sooner had he uttered the word “stone” than a small pebble came hurling out of the croud and struck the woman on the forehead. Jesus grew angry and pushed is way into the croud, asking “who threw that?”

As he pushed his way to the back of the crowd, he found the origin of the thrown rock and said “Mom!? What are you doing here?”
