Where ministry is a laughing matter

Karen Mahoney

reports on the clown ministry at St. Paul the Apostle Church in Racine.

Don't expect a report that the move from Penitential Rite to Sprinkling Rite has now progressed to Seltzer Rite. These aren't liturgical clowns.

[Pam "Gabby"] Klemm felt that a group of Christian clowns could provide comfort to those who might be left out of ordinary activities and functions. Primarily, the clowns focused on nursing homes, hospitals, and homeless shelters.
