THE STORY: Tongues have begun to wag about the handsome young parish priest Father Jerry Dolan, who has, so they say, been seeing quite a lot of a pretty young parishioner, Katie Cachenko, whom he has known since their school days, when both played
Press Reviews
"Filled with warm, perceptive humor and intriguing characterizations, the play brings a refreshingly light touch to a topic of serious consequence in our times—priestly celibacy and the doubts and distractions that can beset the vocation of the priesthood. “Hilarious and touching. Neary has an ear for one-liners and colloquial language."
— Boston Globe
"…zesty yet tasteful humor that gently tickles the funnybone."
— Lowell Sun
