It looks like the Calgary Flames are getting an endorsement from the big man, himself.
It’s no joke: Holy Nativity Anglican Church in Lake Bonavista will be blessing Flames jerseys Sunday morning.
It all started when a member of the parish asked Reverend Tara Livingston if he could wear his jersey to the service.
“I said, yes of course! I’ll even bless it,” she said.
She adds, they’ve had a wonderful response from the community, and hopes it shows they have a sense of humour.
“We’re really blessing the people who wear them. So, the fans of the game. So, the people who are really getting into it,” she said, adding while they don’t believe God is actually a Flames fan, they want to inspire people.
Livingston adds they are an inclusive church, so they’ll even bless Vancouver Canucks jerseys, if requested, and she’ll be saying a special prayer for Toronto Maple Leafs fans.
