An anniversary gift

Conrad and Joyce Zarecki of Wisconsin Rapids celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in August with a family vacation for their children, their children's spouses and their grandchildren at the Conger House on Scattered Lake in Eagle River. A gathering for family and friends also was held at the Nepco Lake Lodge in Wisconsin Rapids.

The couple also renewed their vows with Bishop William Patrick Callahan at St. Bronislava Catholic Church in Plover.

A polka Mass was held in their honor Sept. 4 at St. Vincent de Paul Parish in Wisconsin Rapids. They also will take a trip to Italy in October.

Remind me to avoid St. Vincent de Paul Parish in Rapids like the plague. ... and since when is the Sacrifice of the Mass "held in their honor" of anyone.  Gives you and idea of the spirituality that goes along with it.

Remove the Polka Mass line and it's like, awwww ,what a nice story.  Bishop blessing, trip to Italy...  oh, yeah, and beer hall music in church.
