Jack's Story

Life My Spouse I entered Subiaco Abbey after WWII, became a Benedictine monk but decided to switch to the diocesan priesthood. Got permission to leave the Abbey to find a bishop who would accept me as a priest in his diocese. Had appointment with Bishop Pashang in Grand Island, Nebr. While the "purple" tape was being unraveled, got permission to take a job and the people in the office kept inviting me and a girl in office (in Omaha) to socials. I started missing her when I went back to the Abbey for visits and reporting to the Abbot. Realized I preferred to stay with her. Went to the Bishop, who said "Go Pray", she outprayed me and I asked her to marry me. Rome gave me permission to marry and relieved me of my vows of poverty, chastity,and obedience.

hings and nip my fingers with little love bites. Likes to play tag and sleep in my lap. My Kids All were born in Omaha, Nebr. Sean David is the eldest and is a supervisor at a distribution center, Kevin is a sound engineer for John Mellencamp and Bon Jovi, Brighid is a Financial Development Director. I have functioned as associate pastor at Good Shepherd Parish in Tomball, Texas since I "retired". Usual duties are celebrating the Mass when needed, conducting monthly Bible Study group (on rotation with 3 others), preaching when asked. Retain my connections to my old abbey as a Benedictine Oblate. Find myself thinking about my high school classmates and keep looking for their names in areas of business, education, entertainment and political action. Know that most are my age and may have passed on but I think about them nevertheless and keep them in my prayers.
