Fr. John Beal had a Mass of Recognition at Resurrection last Sunday for his 50 years in the priesthood.
He celebrated the 10:30 am Mass and was given a reception in the Commons. Following this, parishioners, staff, Parish Council members, and friends took him out to lunch. He was given two vestments as a gift from our parish—a green chasuble and stole and a white chasuble and stole. Fr. Beal has been assisting our parish with weekend Masses since 1993. He is Canon Law Professor at CUA.
