A Tribute to Fr. John Joseph Henchey

(Fr. Joe's Grand-Uncle)

Fr. Joseph Henchey, CSS, was named for his paternal grand-Uncle, Fr. John Joseph Henchey, who was known to the family as 'Fr. Joe'. He was ordained at Niagra University in June, 1901, offered his First Mass in St. Charles' Church, Woburn, MA, on June 9, 1901 - and left shortly thereafter for Beresford, in the [South]  'Dakota'  Territory. Unfortunately, 'Fr. Joe' died that same year, on Dec. 5, while serving as Assistant  at  the third St. Teresa's Church in that town in South Dakota.  He was buried there on a knoll - and  Fr. Joe [the younger!] was invited there by Bishop Robert Carlson  in the summer of 2001 to preach the Seminarian Retreat - and offered Mass for his noble ancestor, the late Fr. John Joseph Henchey at the grave site.

These are some pictures of that occasion:
