Everyone traveling all these miles and hours just to go
to a church dinner? Must be some damn good church dinner.
That's the part I can't understand.

Why would someone take a bus trip for 1.5 hours, then a 20 minute
drive from the bus station to the church. Eat dinner, then
do all that in reverse to go home. WTH?

Is the "Pope" going to be there or something? :-O

Please explain why this church dinner is worth all this travel
and trouble.
