I should have made this a new item, therefore more visibility. Sorry for doubling bandwidth.
________FACT_________
Fr. Hewko flew in from Our Lady of Mount Carmel, and came to Winona, to be with his family, NOT to confront anyone.
He is a Catholic Priest, par excellence.
He stayed by himself at a "low profile" motel on the east end of town.
At Thursday night dinner, with his family, he was told "he should NOT be on the cemetery (seminary) grounds. (Editorial License - I play with words.)
The source is the '"BOSS"' and the ramifications for a new Priest are obvious to all who have been aware of the SSPX rebranding, change of direction.
Therefore, the BEST Fr. could do, was pray his Breviary, parked on a PUBLIC road at the same elevation (actually higher) a very short distance away, (feet, not miles) during the ordination of his nephew.
Catholic charity at its' finest!!!!! (my pejorative comment to this otherwise factual reporting)
___________Was the parking of a Winona County Sheriffs' car at the entrance to the cemetery, I mean seminary, supposed to imply something. No Tradcats among Winona's Finest. _________
I believe this was the largest turnout in the past 10 years at least. Over 200 tent/campers, main tent full, north side outside of tent chairs at 90%, south side garage full, car parking in north cow pasture full, (some mud, 2 inches of rain during thursday night, and very wet previous couple weeks) and the south hay field was full.
A tall Priest was observed assisting an inexperienced young driver who was "buried" in the mud. His "old SSPX" prayers were soon rewarded by a tractor and 40 ft. of chain. Novus Order catholic charity in action. Friendly people in Minnesota.
