Happy Anniversary, Father Maurus
In a quiet celebration with a few associates, Father Maurus celebrated the 25th anniversary of his ordination to the Priesthood. A festival mass was celebrated on May 18 followed by a luncheon in his honor hosted and prepared by the members of the Hungarian Catholic Mission. A dedicated science teacher, he devoted special attention this summer to the electron microscopes recently donated to the campus. And, he can still be found in the garden by Church Square tending the roses!
