30th Annual Spiritual Assembly at St. Priscilla

The Archdiocese of Chicago was blessed to have the 30th Annual Chicago Association of the Holy Name Society Spiritual Assembly Mass celebrated on Friday evening June 30th. This year the St. Priscilla Holy Name Society and Parish were our most gracious hosts. We had groups of men from over 30 parishes. Let’s not forget participation from the Knights of St. Peter Claver, the Knights of Columbus and the Blue Army of Our Lady of Fatima. CAHNS thanks them all especially, Marion Ward (St. Priscilla President), Ron Tralka (Spiritual Assembly Chairman) and Reverend Idzi Stacherczak (Pastor of St. Priscilla). Thank you to all the volunteers behind the scenes who made this a success! During the Mass, Fr. Michael Bowler (Spiritual Moderator for CAHNS) installed our officers:John Ortiz/President, Lou Rexing/ Treasurer, Stan Baran/Recording Secretary, Manuel Moyado/Board of Director and Kirk Struhart/Blessed John of Vercelli Advocate. After the mass, all attendees we treated to a wonderful reception in McGowan Hall. The food was plenty along with homemade deserts. During the reception, CAHNS held its drawing for the Annual Grand Raffle and selected the winners. Also CAHNS President John Ortiz presented the “2009 Deacon Ed Condon Chicago Association of the Holy Name Society Man of the Year Award” to Stanley Ksiazek of the St. Bruno Holy Name Society.

Next year’s Mass in 2011 will be hosted by Immaculate Conception (Harlem/Talcott) Chicago. Please keep them in your prayers as they prepare to welcome you to their home.

If you are inspired to have your parish host this Mass in 2012 or beyond, please let one of our CAHNS officers know. We will be glad help you with any questions and planning.

Blessed Be His Holy Name!
