Now that Fr. Dan has retired from active ministry in the Diocese of Dallas, i.e. he is less active there than before, he has more time to travel, including getting back to his South Chicago roots. Once or twice a year he is able to get up here and help out in St. Jude the Apostle Parish in South Holland, Illinois, the parish where his brother Pat and sister-in-law Rose have been very active members for many years, On Sunday, August 9, Kathy and John Driscoll and Betty and Don Wampach drove down to South Holland to attend the 11:30 a.m. Mass that Fr. Dan was celebrating and later join him for lunch. Dan's family members with us at that Mass were Pat and Rose and their daughter Trish, as well as two of his other brothers, Jack and Matt. Jack also had been at the Josephinum for some of his high school years, as part of the Class of 1971. It is always a joy to celebrate Mass with Fr. Dan when he is up here, and he never fails to point out non-regular attendees at the Mass. We look forward to his next visit up here, most likely in late January.
