June - the Anniversary
Month for our Priests
Hospitality Sunday in June was a chance to honor three of our favorite
priests.
June, 2009 marked 65 years in the priesthood for the late Father Stephen Quinn. No other
priest in the order has ever reached that wonderful benchmark.
We also honor Father Krebs, the Director of the Shrine who celebrated 40 years,
and although he spends some time in Silver Spring, Maryland, we also honor Father Ralph, who
celebrated 50 years.
