The parish celebrated the old and the new on Sunday, Oct. 29 with a bilingual Mass and picnic. The parish honored seven founding members with a blessing from Pope Benedict XVI. Following the Mass, pastor Father Tom Stehlik recognized parishioners who joined the parish as children in 1935. They are Ernestine Hum, Sam Berg, brothers Eugene and Herman Uekman, Rudy Gangluff and sisters Regina and Teresa Wellman. Father Stehlik also recognized the five candidates who will come into the Church at Easter. More than 400 parishioners attended the event.
