Latin Rite Priest Fined For Service in Fairfax

A 72 year old Latin Rite Catholic priest was found guilty of conducting services in a single family dwelling without a permit and fined 50 dollars in Fairfax County Circuit Court. Rev Joseph E K Gedra faced a jury of four men and one woman who deliberated an hour and a quarter before convicting him. The judge stayed execution 60 days for appeals. Gedra plans a new trial. He earlier was fined 230 dollars in August and appeals. He says he will continue celebrating the Latin Rite mass in a house near Vienna twice on Sundays. attendance runs 30 to 35. His attorney contends the housing ordinance violates religious freedom. Assistant State’s Attorney Keenan said Gedra knew he was violating the housing law and could have sought a permit, which was denied in 1973. Other church groups challenge the density ordinance as restricting worship.

He also argues Humphrey could beat Ford and calls him the centrist with broad national support.
