Maryknoll Church Talks

1-2 July 2006

 

St. Pius Church sanctuary

St. Pius X Church

Appleton, Wisconsin

 

St. Pius X Church in Appleton, Wisconsin was the fourth parish I spoke in for this series of church talks for Maryknoll. The church is really well organized and has the most modern and well-designed and complete church facility that I have probably ever seen. The pastor there is Fr. Tom Farrell, and we found out that we had both gone to St. Mary's Seminary in Baltimore, Maryland although our times there did not overlap. We also found that we had a common friend and mentor in Fr. Vincent McMurry who was on the faculty of St. Thomas Seminary in Louisville as well as St. Mary's.
