Farewell, Father

Father John Antony, pastor at St. Raphael Church in Springdale, greets parishioners Oct. 11 at one of the farewell receptions the parish held.
He celebrated his last Masses Oct. 10-11 at the church before heading to St. Joseph Church in Fayetteville where he became the new pastor Oct. 13. Father Antony led the diocese’s largest parish for the past four years.
At least seven other priests began new assignments the same day.
