Hundreds of parishioners at St. Matthias Roman Catholic Church showed up Nov. 22 to congratulate their priest on his 25 years at their pulpit.

The Rev. Douglas J. Haefner said he was “humbled” by the response to his anniversary.

“I’m just humbled by the outpouring of the people,” Haefner said after the 10:30 a.m. Mass. “Today was a celebration of all the people who have helped me to build up the kingdom of God here at St. Matthias.”
