Bless Me, Father plot
When newly ordained young priest Neil Boyd arrives at St. Jude Parish, he discovers that the seminary has never been able to prepare him for Pastor Duddleswell, a robust and cheerful eccentric who has been a parish priest for 12 years. Neil is surprised when Duddleswell reminds him that in addition to the usual virtues of patience, love and charity, a parish priest must also have the acumen and ingenuity of a poker player. His confusion is heightened when Duddleswell and his housekeeper are constantly insulting each other.
