Priest, 98, Was Devoted to Parish
-
Description
-
Heliodore Mejak, priest at Holy Family Catholic Church in Kansas City, Kansas, died December 25, 2007, at the age of 98. He came to Holy Family in 1944, "ending perhaps the longest tenure of a priest at a U.S. parish. Monsignor Mejak may also have been the country's oldest active priest, according to the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas." He was ordained in 1935, and during his years in the priesthood, served under seven popes. Holy Family is a Slovenian parish and Mejak "was the last priest in the archdiocese to stop celebrating Mass in Latin in the wake of the Vatican II church reforms approved in the 1960s." He learned the Slovenian language in order to serve the parish.
