Next Sunday, May 18, Fr. Jay Von Handorf will be here to celebrate his 50th anniversary of ordination. Fr. Jay was ordained for the Diocese of Covington, but when the diocese was divided, he became part of the Diocese of Lexington. He has served as a missionary in Columbia and as a priest of the Diocese of Lexingon, especially in the mountain regions. 
    
Father grew up in Covington and was from the parish of St. Augustine. He will have a Mass and reception at St. Augustine, but he also wanted to have an anniversary Mass at Mother of God, as it has become his family church.
    
We welcome Fr. Jay and his family next Sunday, May 18, at the 11:30 am Mass.
