As soon as she had finished parochial school in Ireland, Siobhan, who was a bright young girl, made her way to New York, where before long she became a successful performer in show business.

Eventually she returned to her home town for a visit and on a Saturday night went to confession in the church which she had always attended as a child.

In the confessional, the local priest, Father Sullivan recognized her and began asking her about her work.

She explained that she was an acrobatic dancer and he wanted to know what that meant.

Siobhan said she would be happy to show him the kind of thing she did on stage, she stepped out of the confessional and within sight of Father Sullivan, she went into a series of cartwheels, leaping splits, handsprings and back flips.

Kneeling near the confessional, waiting their turn, were two middle aged ladies.

They witnessed Siobhan’s acrobatics with wide eyes and one said to the other: “Will you just look at the penance Father Sullivan is giving out this night and me without me bloomers on!”
