Thanks for taking the time to read this. I have an odd question. My husband was in and out of the hospital for the last seven years, great amazing man. During his numerous stays we had a great priest stop by all the time. On hearing of my husbands death he called me with the usual courtesy calls. I asked him to attend my husband memorial as a guest, but yes he did do a little speech. My question is this, is it proper to ask a priest out to lunch? I know it would be awkward if it was just a regular guy, but is it proper to ask a priest out to lunch? Peace all

Sorry to hear about your husband.
I think it's acceptable to take him for lunch, just make sure you know what he likes to eat (or if he's a vegetarian, you also shouldn't eat meat around him if that's the case). I would also tell him "Thank You" and let him know if meant alot to you.

Sorry for your loss. It's perfectly OK to ask a priest out for lunch. If there is nothing inappropriate involved I see no problem, even priests eat.

How very thoughtful of you to invite the priest for lunch. I hope that by dining together you find peace and comfort. So sorry for your loss. And to answer your question it is not improper to lunch with the preist. God Bless.

No that is not acward at all ask him and his wife for a brunch and tell then about your late husband and the things you and him use to do. That's is what a priest is there for.

I'm assuming you're not asking him on a date, but rather taking a friend to lunch. I see no problem with it.

I think that would be very nice. I'd mention through lunch how much his speech touched your heart or something along those lines.

In my case I do. i could no longer care much less approximately what some fool baby-kisser or particular activity team with an awl to grind thinks approximately it. All "political correctness" is is a thank you to administration your speech in public and consequently your innovations. (one relies upon upon the different). in case your opinion is that gays need to be ridiculed in public it is your suitable to assert something you opt to them as long as you do no longer make threats. of direction all of us be conscious of you'll be arrested for it (in the event that they make a grievance) because of the fact it somewhat is been construed that something you assert that they think approximately derogotory would be seen threatening. same holds real for different "minorities". keep in mind however that with "political correctness" it would desire to be a sin to deride some communities undesirable mouthing others is "the terrific option". Take "directly" white adult adult males adult adult males as an occasion. what ever team your in once you're a white male you would be seen a wrongdoer and the different guy or woman is the "sufferer". exceedingly whilst it rather is a woman. i be conscious of none of it somewhat is "politically the terrific option" even yet it somewhat is all a actuality. some are in basic terms no longer keen to confess it because of the fact they're section of the "politically the terrific option" crowd. Our freedoms are eroded on a daily basis by ability of OURSELVES because of the fact many folk think of we've the the terrific option to no longer be indignant by ability of all and sundry.

As a thank you, I don't see why that would be a problem. It probably would've been best to take him out right after the service, if possible though.
