Terrence Halloran is batching it for-a-bit, while Dawn is spending awhile in Corbet, Oklahoma with daughter Rachel and Jake Barren, grandchildren 2-year old twins Grayson and Grace, and year-old June. He showed pictures on his phone of them playing in 6 inches of fresh snow, and they were having a blast!

Tammy Simon, brother Val and Theresa Miller of St. Thomas, gathered with their Dad, Val Sr. and other family members, at the Roadhaus in Henderson on Friday evening. Another brother, Charlie and Mary Ellen are now living in their new home on Highway 19, North of St. Thomas.

Happy FFA Week, Monday was a nice day for TCU”s drive the Drive your Tractor to school Day.
Austin Rutt was among the tractor drivers... driving a Farmal M.

About 30 folks,.Tucks, Jim and Marcia Sullivan’s family, Mike Sullivan, Holdens, Doc, Paula and Eric O'Connell, Andy and James Oaks with a couple of kids, showed up for lots of fun, sledding Sunday the 21st, on Holden’s Hill.

Much appreciation to Mary Jean Halloran for the heads-up on-line mass of Father Roger Hessian’s 60th Jubilee Celebration at St. Peter’s Catholic Church in Naples, Florida. It was wonderful! Father told his personal story of the Chalice he carried with him, gifted from his brother. He introduced the twelve men of God on the altar with him, and humbly thanked all for coming. Then said “I just spotted good friends Gordy and Margie Eischens walk in,” Margie wore black with shamrock green sleeves. Music was wonderful, many songs we’d sing here. Later, Father mentioned other relatives he saw come in and wondered out loud “what prison they’d be comin’ from.” One priest quoted as Father removed his yellow vestments “Let’s have some music, he’s undressing.” Party atmosphere during mass. He reached under his vestment like he reaches for his phone, only to retrieve a kleenex. With the help of two fellow priests, Father became quite emotional and humbled as they draped him in bright royal purple vestments, gifted from St. Peter’s parish there in Naples. “Once a priest, always a priest.” Have a safe trip home, Father...and God bless.

St. Anne’s Catholic Church in Le Sueur will have masses with Father Chris Shofner: Saturdays at 5:15 p. m. and Sundays at 8 a. m. and10:30 a. m.. Check the website for more instructions.

Father Roger Hessian’s 60th Jubilee of his Ordination is February 19th. His Ordination took place back on a Sunday, February 19, 1961 at the Cathedral of St. Paul and his first Mass was celebrated at the Sacred Heart Church in Belle Plaine on Sunday, February 26, 1961. The program of his 50th Anniversary into the priesthood stated, “The Priest is not an angel sent from Heaven. He is a man chosen from among men. A member of the Church. A Christian. He speaks to you the Word of God.” Okay, so he’s not an angel sent from Heaven. Then he’s a wonderful man, who has inspired us at St. Thomas with his knowledge, his wit and his compassion.

For all who watched the Super Bowl on Sunday, we’re told, “You missed a good Three Stooges Marathon.”

Good News From Sheila in Alaska: “Happiest Day of 2020 for Jerry and Sheila Halloran Soukup was getting Matthew Soukup home from Iraq!!” Great to hear! Let’s celebrate when Covid is over...down here... only 16 below this week.

We Lost our Uncle Ed, Dad’s youngest brother, recently. Memories came flooding back. Ed left for Service in the U. S. Army on March 11, 1952. It was the day after our Mother’s funeral. My sister, Diane was 14 months old and me, a year and a half older. Ed was gone two years then and when he came home is one of our favorite memories. He came in the front door, his so familiar voice booming "Where’s my girls?” Diane went scrambling up the stairway, the daylights scared out of her, After a crushing hug, he tossed me in the air, set me down, then bounded up the stairs, two at a time and plucked Dee from behind Dad’s bedroom door. Talking and laughing, he carried her down on his arm, her arm on his huge shoulder, she couldn’t take her eyes off him. He left as fast as he came, for that moment he was just ours and then the moment was gone. He had others to see. He was everybody’s. Rest in Peace, Ed.

Have a healthy and happy week, folks.
