Baptized, schooled and wed at Ss. Peter & Paul Parish in Hortonville, Bernie and Floy Olk’s second oldest child, Rose Mary, now 84, didn’t stop there.Post Crescent
After she and Paul Kreul married in 1950, the young Hortonville couple went on to have five children of their own, all of them blessed at the church’s baptismal font. And they all learned their ABCs at its former school.
Rose Mary Kreul is among the more seasoned members of the parish, which is celebrating its 150th anniversary with a 4:30 p.m. Mass Aug. 6, led by Bishop David Ricken and church sacramental minister, the Rev. James Feely.
I cant even go any further. There's more information at the link. The parish website shows something called a "parish director" with a welcome message. This phrase is also in their parish bulletin so it's not the writer of the article making such a shallow and utilitarian commentary on the holy priesthood. Maybe we could call Bp. Ricken the "episcopal minister?" I wonder how many priestly vocations this parish is sending out.....
Now that I'm thinking about this, what is a priest called if a parish doesn't have a pastor? Wouldn't you just call him a visiting pastor or something like that?
