Example of Bishop Massa
Dear Editor: Sept. 11, 2005, a priest prayed the Mass of the Tridentine Rite in the chapel at St. John’s Cemetery. Indira Sweeney McGrath and a good helper worked with him to bring this about.
Inspired by Father Rick
I feel compelled to stop and acknowledge a great priest, Father Rick Beuther, the pastor at St. Bartholomew parish in Elmhurst. His Masses are captivating and his homilies are both electrifying and inspirational.
