Everyone is...

Haag: Deploying to front

... doing his part in the upcoming war against malaria. Yes, everyone, and we mean everyone, including Fr. Ralph, is joining the fight.Yes, Fr. Ralph is joining the fight!Always at the Homefront, Fr. Ralph has never ventured off with the brave boys with their mullets to the front. But this year, it's going to be different. When we caught up with Fr. Ralph, here's what he had to say.

St.Ed: Is it true? Are you getting a mullet?

Haag: Yes. It's true. I am.

St.Ed: What moved you to join the boys at front with a mullet?

Haag: Their bravery. It is always edifying, and seeing it, I though to myself, "I can do this too." 

St.Ed: When was the last time you had a haircut?

Haag: My last haircut was in early November, and then, it was only a little trim. You see, I started growing it out over the summer, and by November, it was getting a bit out of control. Okay, it was getting a lot out of control.

St.Ed: So, growing your hair out has its challenges?

Haag: Yes. I have been devoting more time to personal grooming than ever before. Every morning, I have severe "bed head," and while it might be stylish for the kids, it's not a look for a priest rector. I have to comb my hair, and if I don't, it gets all knotted up. And you know what? It hurts trying to get them out. And then I am using more shampoo... let's not even talk about that.

St.Ed: Is there anything that you would like our readers to know?

Haag: Yes, I regret that I have but one head of hair to give to our noble cause.
