Priest Marks 55 Years in Willowdale Parish
The 81-year-old Father John Bast of Willowdale Kansas observes 55 years since his ordination and 32 years serving the Willowdale parish. He reflects on horse and buggy days and a 1912 move to Ellinwood before returning in 1935, noting trips by train and wagon for masses. He traveled to Germany five years ago for a visit, and the parish marked its 50th anniversary with a service and dinner.
