Monsignor Charles McGlinn
40th Anniversary of His Ordination
Cure' of Ars Catholic Church
June 10, 2007
   

On June 10, 2007, the Cure' of Ars parish community joined with Monsignor Charles McGlinn in celebrating the 40th anniversary of his ordination into the priesthood. Following a Mass of Celebration at 10:30 a.m., all gathered in the gymnasium to honor our beloved pastor, leader, and friend.

Monsignor Charles' four brothers and their families traveled from across the country and as well as a large contingent of family members from Leavenworth, Kansas, home base for the McGlinn clan.

Bob Smith toasted Monsignor Charles and Ed Kuklenski was emcee.

There was abundant food and the "cake ladies" expertly divided the chocolate and vanilla cakes to serve everyone.

Every good Irishman should be so lucky to be serenaded with "Danny Boy."

The schoolchilden's congratulatory cards were displayed, including a touching one with a special message about Monsignor Charles' youth.
