Crowd wishes pastor 'Happy Birthday'



Parishioners crowded into the Parish Activity Center after the 11 a.m. Mass on Sunday  to wish Fr. Ralph Thomas a Happy Birthday. He turned 74 on Sunday,

Dave Clute presented the pastor with a birthday cake with candles indicating  "39."

A trifold display board contained  a portrait and biography plus a photo of his ordination on May 22, 1965 by Bishop Clarence Issemann.

Other photos showed Fr. Thomas giving Communion, blessing throats, giving ashes, washing feet and burning petitions.
