The St. Clement Redemptorist Mission Community in Barnhart welcomed Provincial Superior Kevin Zubel on August 8 to preside at the Mass of Thanksgiving honoring confreres marking milestone anniversaries of profession as Redemptorist missionaries of the Denver Province.

Participants included Fr. Donald MacKinnon and Br. Robert Ruffing celebrating 70 years, and Fr. Thomas Danielsen of the Kansas City community, Br. Clement Furno and Fr. Joseph Morin celebrating 65 years.

 Each confrere shared thoughts about  their decades of ministry, and  remembered those who were unable  to participate in the gathering as they  celebrated a collective 765 years of  ministry.

 Special thanks to Fr. Vincent Minh  for sharing a photo of the honorees  (above, seated left to right) Fr.  Donald MacKinnon, Fr  Thomas  Danielsen, Fr. Joseph Morin and Br.  Robert Ruffing, and (standing) Br.  Clement Furno, Fr. Kevin Zubel and  Fr. Jim White, local superior.
