New Priest

Katherine Marie Elsner was called forth from Holy Family Inclusive Catholic Community in Springfield, Illinois where she was ordained a priest November 6. Great Waters’ newly ordained bishop, Mary Keldermans, was delighted that Rev. Katherine, a member of her own community, was her first ordination.
