Eucharistic procession in Tell City Deanery

This photograph was taken at an event honoring senior citizens at St. Gabriel Parish in Connersville in May 1981. Following Mass said by Archbishop Edward T. O’Meara, several priests served dinner to 300 seniors in attendance. The priests are, from left to right, Fathers Harold Knueven, Stephen Jarrell, Glenn O’Connor, Robert Mazzola, and Archbishop O’Meara. Seated in front of the priests are Mistress of Ceremonies Karolyn Buckler and Elizabeth Mazzola, the mother of Father Mazzola, who made the archbishop’s apron. This photo originally appeared in the Connersville News Examiner.

On June 8, 1980, which was the Feast of the Body and Blood of Christ (Corpus Christi), each of the parishes of the Tell City deanery gathered at St. Meinrad Parish in St. Meinrad for a eucharistic procession to the St. Meinrad recreation field. Father (later Msgr.) Richard Lawler, who was co-pastor of three parishes in the deanery, carried the monstrance in the procession. The sermon was given by Father Stephen Happel, pastor of St. Isidore the Farmer Parish in Perry County.
