Mrs. Ann Marie Garrison, 67, passed away in her sleep on February 16, 2026, succumbing to ALS disease after two years. She was the devoted wife and best friend of Jeffrey Karl Garrison for forty-four years.
Born on March 11, 1958 in Decatur, Indiana, daughter of the late Homer and Vera Rauch, she was preceded in death by two of her older brothers, John and Dan. Six siblings survive her: Jim, Joie, Chum, Pat and Mike, and Lori. Nicknamed “Pete” by her three older brothers, she would always have a great devotion to her adopted patron, Saint Peter.
She attended Saint Joseph Catholic School through her eighth-grade year. While there, her favorite teacher was Sister Gemma, who instilled in her a great love for her Catholic Faith. She then attended Adams Central High School, graduating in 1976.
After about a three year stint as a miscellaneous machine operator at CTS, an electronic components factory, she attended ITT Technical Institute in Fort Wayne, Indiana, where she attained her associates degree in Architectural Engineering Technology. While there, she met her future husband. They graduated together in June of 1981 and were married in September of the same year.

4. Fr. Anthony J. Cekada

Sedevacantist (rejected Vatican II)
Fr. Cekada was born in La Jolla, California, July 18, 1951, son of the late Frank and Eleanor (Nardi) Cekada. He was raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and grew up during the revolutionary years of the 1960’s. Privileged to be of the last generation raised in the True Catholic Faith, he was educated by the Dominican Sisters and spiritually fed with daily High Mass and doctrine. This Faith formed him, inspired him and inevitably demanded of him many sacrifices which he willingly made for the Church and for souls.
Fourteen-year-old Anthony Cekada entered De Sales Prep or Minor Seminary in Milwaukee for High School, graduating in 1969. At the minor seminary he was able to pursue piano and then organ. He wanted to learn not only to play and accompany Mass, but to compose good music to counter the junk being produced by the Changes. He did more than that, however. At the age of fourteen he also began studies at the Milwaukee Conservatory of Music under the renowned musician and polymath Michael Hammond. This transformed him, in his own words "over two intense years, from being an untrained but eager musical ignoramus at fourteen to being the accomplished and technically adept orchestral composer of a major work at sixteen." Amazing, but to be listed among his many accomplishments in life….
Fr. Cekada rarely spoke of these things. He was too busy doing things. He was all the time teaching himself whatever discipline the moment, the needs of the Church and souls, required. In addition to organ and musical composition, Fr. Cekada was a seminary professor for over forty years, teaching music, chant, Sacred Liturgy, Psalms and Canon Law. Because there was no one else to do it, Fr. Cekada taught himself accounting as a newly ordained priest at St. Joseph’s House of Studies in Armada, Michigan. Techniques changed over the years, but he was still doing the church accounting last January, when the strokes began. Teaching was surely his great love. While he willingly assisted anyone who came to him for guidance or advice, his special devotion was to young people, for whom he would make any sacrifice. Until his last months he was daily answering emails not only on Church questions, but especially vocation inquiries from youth.
Fr. Cekada taught himself the complicated discipline of liturgical rubrics when Bishop Dolan was consecrated in 1993, and wrote detailed directions for all the pontifical ceremonies. During the long dispute with the Pius X Society, which wanted to force a reconciliation with Modernist Rome, Fr. Cekada taught himself a good deal of Civil Law. He also tried his hand at church design when the new St. Gertrude’s in West Chester, Ohio was built in an attractive traditional style in 2003. Since 2009, Fr. Cekada returned to his old love of church music, directing St. Gertrude’s music program, and playing the organ.
In addition to his teaching and care for souls (Fr. Cekada was founding pastor of St. Hugh of Lincoln Church in Milwaukee), he was also an avid and prolific writer, on topics ranging from theology and modern questions, to liturgy and traditionalist controversies. He produced an accurate translation of the Ottaviani Intervention, The Problem with the Prayers of the New Mass (well over 15,000 sold), and the practical and ever popular Welcome to the Traditional Latin Mass and The Problem of Authority. Fr. Cekada’s great life’s work is the definitive study of the New Mass, Work of Human Hands, with nearly 5,000 copies in print. His numerous YouTube videos delight, edify and educate, presenting the traditional Catholic position. One wonders how he found time for it all.
When Fr. Cekada completed his studies at De Sales Seminary with a bachelor’s of divinity, he entered the Cistercians and briefly did studies at the Monastery of Hautrive in Fribourg, Switzerland. Later he entered the Society of St. Pius X at Écône, Switzerland, where he was ordained a priest by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre in 1977.
Fr. Cekada has served as assistant pastor of St. Gertrude the Great since 1989, after a number of years at St. Pius V Chapel in Oyster Bay, New York.
Fr. Cekada’s life, his forty-three years of priesthood, have yielded incredible results. But he was an extraordinary man. His self-discipline, devotion and drive were not only matched but excelled by his humility, and his trademark sense of humor. His great erudition caused his friends to esteem him and his foes at times to fear him, and all to respect him, but it was his gentle humor which won him admiration even from those who disagreed with him.
As we mourn him now, and mark an extraordinary life in these most difficult of days, we should remember him most of all, for his first love and enduring devotion for teaching the Catholic Faith, for our youth. Father said it best, "a testament to the lasting and profound change that one good teacher can make…." His rest is well earned, "his works follow him."

ROUND TOP - His Excellency Bishop Clarence J. Kelly, zealous apostle of the Sacred Heart, passed away peacefully on the evening of First Saturday, December 2, 2023. Bishop Kelly was holding his crucifix and was surrounded by members of the Congregation of St. Pius V and the Daughters of Mary, as well as family members.
Clarence James Kelly, 82, was born on November 23, 1941, in Brooklyn, NY, to the late Edward and Claire (Bonar) Kelly. At the age of seventeen, he joined the United States Air Force. After serving for four years, he entered the Franciscans in Hollidaysburg, PA. He graduated magna cum laude from Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., in 1969 with a degree in philosophy. He then transferred to Immaculate Conception Seminary in Huntington, NY, and began his course of theology.
After meeting Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, who was training seminarians to hold fast to the traditional Latin Mass and the true Catholic Faith, he entered the seminary in Econe, Switzerland, and was ordained by the Archbishop in Econe on April 14, 1973, for the Society of St. Pius X. Soon after Father Kelly's ordination, he returned to the United States and served almost ten years as the Northeast District Superior for the Society of St. Pius X. He established numerous missions throughout the country where only the Tridentine Latin Mass was offered. In 1983 he formed the Society of St. Pius V to continue this work.
Father Kelly founded the Congregation of the Daughters of Mary, Mother of Our Savior, in 1984, so that there would be Sisters to comfort the Sacred Heart of Jesus and to promote this devotion among the laity. As Spiritual Father, Father Kelly taught the Sisters by word and example to love the Sacred Heart and to be devoted daughters of our Blessed Mother.
To ensure the valid ordination of priests and true sacraments in the future, Bishop Alfred Mendez consecrated Father Kelly to the episcopacy on October 19, 1993. In 1996 Bishop Kelly established the Congregation of St. Pius V and Immaculate Heart Seminary in Round Top, NY, to provide for the spiritual needs of souls. He consecrated Bishop Joseph Santay on February 28, 2007, and co-consecrated Bishop James Carroll on December 27, 2018.
Throughout the years Bishop Kelly performed many other works as an expression of his charity and zeal. He published two books (Conspiracy Against God and Man and The Sacred and the Profane), as well as other writings, in order to defend and promote the true Catholic Faith. Since the education of Catholic youth was a work dear to his heart, he opened St. Pius V School in Wantagh, NY. Another work to which he was devoted was the care of the sick and dying. Both of these are carried on by the religious congregations he founded. He oversaw the construction of several buildings, including the Motherhouse and St. Joseph's Novitiate Chapel for the Sisters, Immaculate Heart Seminary, and St. Pius V School. Despite being ill for many years, he continued to assist and guide souls.
As a priest for over 50 years and a bishop for 30 years, Bishop Kelly labored and sacrificed himself tirelessly for others. He truly was a good shepherd to traditional Catholics throughout the country. He was courageous in doing whatever he could for the honor and glory of God and the salvation of souls.
Bishop Kelly is survived by his brother Patrick Kelly, his sister Claire (Kelly) Hayden, and numerous nieces and nephews, including one priest, a seminarian, and three religious Sisters.
To pray for and honor Bishop Kelly, there will be two wakes and Requiem Masses. The first wake will be held at St. Pius V School Chapel in Melville, NY, on December 5 from 4:00 p.m. until 9:00 a.m. on December 6. The Rosary will be prayed every hour. A Solemn Pontifical Requiem Mass will be offered there on December 6 at 10:00 a.m. At Round Top, NY, a wake will be held on December 6 from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. with the Rosary prayed every hour. A Solemn High Requiem Mass will be offered in Round Top on December 7 at 11:00 a.m., followed by interment with military honors in St. Joseph's Novitiate Cemetery.
The funeral arrangements for Bishop Kelly are under the direction of The Dufresne and Cavanaugh Funeral Home, Latham, NY, Vincent J. Perniciaro, Funeral Director.

Sedevacantist (rejected Vatican II)
Daniel Lytle Dolan was born Monday, May 28, 1951 in Detroit, Michigan, son of the late David and Rosemary (Lytle) Dolan. He began his journey to the priesthood in 1965 at the minor seminary of the Archdiocese of Detroit. He continued his studies in the Cistercian Order and at the seminary of the Society of St. Pius X in Econe, Switzerland, where was ordained a priest by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre on June 29, 1976.
After spending his first year as a priest in Europe, primarily in England, Father Dolan returned to the United States in early 1977, where he acquired a reputation as an eloquent preacher, and where in a few years, he had founded over 35 traditionalist Mass centers across the United States. Father Dolan's knowledge of the lives of the saints, Church doctrine, and liturgical rubrics were second to none. This knowledge allowed him to accomplish his goal of perpetuating and preserving the unchanged pre-Vatican II Catholic Mass, liturgical practices, and devotions.
In late April 1983, Father Dolan along with eight other American priests parted ways with the Society of St. Pius X due to the willingness of the Society to compromise with the modernist post-Vatican II reformers. Undaunted by this turn of events, Father Dolan zealously expanded his missionary apostolate. St. Gertrude the Great Church in Cincinnati, a parish which he himself founded in 1978 (and continued to serve as its pastor until his death) experienced rapid growth. Today it is one of the largest and most renowned in the United States.
In 1992 Bishop Mark A. Pivarunas, of the Congregation of Mary Immaculate Queen, asked Father Dolan to receive episcopal consecration. After prayerful reflection Father Dolan agreed in mid-1993 in order to assist clergy formerly belonging to Society of St. Pius X. Father Dolan was consecrated a bishop in St. Gertrude the Great Church in Cincinnati on Tuesday, November 30, 1993, the Feast of St. Andrew.
During the intervening years since his episcopal consecration, Bishop Dolan conducted a national and international apostolate. He administered the sacrament of confirmation in churches in the United States overseen by former members of Society of St. Pius X. He also traveled extensively internationally to traditionalist churches and assisted traditional Catholic organizations and clergy in Mexico, Brazil, France, Belgium, Poland, Ukraine, Ireland, Philippines, and Italy.
Bishop Dolan also ordained seminarians and priests for the Priestly Society of Trent of Mexico, the Institute of Mater Boni Consilii of Verrua Savoia, Italy, Most Holy Trinity Seminary of Brooksville, Florida, and other traditional Catholic organizations. On two occasions Bishop Dolan also served as a co-consecrator of a new bishop. Most recently, he consecrated a new bishop for the faithful of Latin America ensuring the faithful there had continued access to all the sacraments of the Catholic Church.
On Tuesday, April 26, 2022, Bishop Dolan was suddenly called from his labors in the vineyard of the Lord. He leaves behind his brother priests and seminarians, his beloved parishioners of St. Gertrude the Great Church, as well as countless thousands of virtual parishioners world-wide who relied on St. Gertrude the Great Church's Internet apostolate to nourish them spiritually, especially during the troubled and uncertain days of these past two years.
Bishop Dolan is also survived by his brothers Tom and Kevin , sisters Julianne and Maureen, and several nieces and nephews. In addition to his parents he was preceded in death by brothers David Dolan, Jr., and Michael Dolan.
Memorial donations may be made to St. Gertrude the Great for the support of poor priests and seminarians.

She faithfully prayed the Rosary each day, lifting up her children, grandchildren, and countless others in her prayers.

Helen was a well-known figure at St. Gertrude the Great for several years - always chatty, happy, and with a smile on her face. Her distinctive New York accent made her many colorful stories even more entertaining.
Helen never liked the changes, so years ago she used to hide out in the library at the Catholic University in northeastern Ohio. There was a priest whom she would often see come in to do research. Many years later, when she discovered the True Mass in Cincinnati, she was surprised to find that he was her new assistant pastor. "I know you!" she exclaimed to Fr. Anthony Cekada.
Helen's sudden death was quite a shock to all her friends at SGG.
Helen Mariam Laub (nee Herz), a devoted mother and grandmother, of Kettering, Ohio, passed away unexpectedly May 15, 2024 at the age of 66. She was born January 21, 1958, in New York, New York.
While pursuing her bachelor's degree in English at St. John's University in New York, Helen met the love of her life, Salah Ismail. After their courtship, the couple was married on May 26, 1979, at the campus chapel. Helen was a devoted mother and spent her time raising her children as well as working with her husband's businesses until his passing. After the passing of her husband, Helen moved to Ohio in 1992 to be close to her sister Catherine and to raise her four children. In addition to raising her children, Helen was a substitute teacher for many years in Hillsboro Ohio. After moving to Dayton Ohio, she achieved a Paralegal degree and worked as a Paralegal Assistant. While Helen did remarry, the later part of her life was devoted solely to her faith, and she spent her time supporting and participating in all aspects of her church and congregation. She will always be remembered as a woman who could (and would) talk to anyone, never shy to make a new connection and create new friendships. She was a kind, strong woman who loved to read and learn about everything around her. She took a deep pride and joy in being a mother and grandmother and loved to cook for her family and friends. Her spinach pie was must for every holiday and get-together.
Helen was preceded in death by: parents, J. Robert and Helen A. (nee Torbush) Herz; and husband, Salah Ismail.
Helen is survived by: children, Yasmine (Shawn) Daulton, Mounia (Adam) Rankin, Sherif (Cherene Spires) Ismail, and Terek Kelly; grandchildren, Kadin Daulton, Julian Daulton, Nora Rankin, Ella Rankin, Kate Rankin, Caroline Rankin, Jax Rankin, Lucas Ismail, and Isla Ismail; siblings, Catherine (Michael) Bach, Warren (Helen Pritsiolas) Herz, and Susan (Tom) Veale; and many loving family members and friends.

Helen Mata Obituary
Stockton, CA
April 22, 1933 - September 6, 2006
Helen Mary Mata, age 73, of Stockton, passed away on Wednesday, September 6, 2006 in her home following a brave battle with cancer. She was born April 22, 1933 in Stockton and lived here most of her life. She graduated from Edison High School and later married Gilbert George Mata Sr. As a military family they lived in such diverse places as Augsburg, Germany and Fort Campbell, Kentucky. Mrs. Mata was widowed at age 30 and went on to raise five children on her own. She was an extremely hard worker, supporting her family in a variety of ways including making tents used in the Vietnam War and ultimately becoming a supervisor of janitorial services at Rough and Ready Island Naval Base. She was the first woman to hold this position and retired after 17 years of service. During that time she received several awards for her excellent work ethic. Her greatest passion was supporting her children and grandchildren in their endeavors. She sewed uniforms and flags for the Stockton Police Drum and Bell Corps, attended all her children's sporting events and became well-loved for always having snacks available to anyone during school activities. She loved to baby sit her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and found much joy in their company. Mrs. Mata had an extremely generous spirit. She selflessly offered her time to those who needed it, and donated to many charities and non-profit groups. She bought toys for needy children, donated material to senior citizen centers and filled large bags full of hand-sewn pillows and blankets for St. Luke Church's bazaar. She also contributed to the success of many food drives.
Mrs. Mata was an expert seamstress. Her baby blankets were coveted by family and friends. She also made the wedding dresses for two of her daughters. She took great pride in making the christening outfits for her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and rarely ever used any kind of pattern. She also enjoyed other activities such as crocheting, painting and ceramics. She was also an outstanding cook, filling the table with favorite dishes such as enchiladas and homemade tortillas that brought her children to her kitchen table long after they had families of their own. Family parties weren't complete without her corn tortilla-rolled hot dogs. In addition to her husband, she was preceded in death by her parents, Margarito and Carmen (Munoz) Guerrero; two brothers, Thomas Guerrero and Raymond Guerrero; a sister, Ruth Gatti; and a son-in-law, Anthony (Tony) Gardea. She is survived by 5 children, Theresa Gardea, Diana Baca, Christina (Tina) Urrutia and her husband, Matias, Gilbert G. Mata Jr. and his wife, Toni, and Linda Serna and her husband, Richard, all of Stockton; 4 sisters, Margaret Gardea, Ramona Gonzales, Carmen Gomez and Arlene Judson, all of Stockton; 1 brother, Andy Guerrero of Stockton; 11 grandchildren, Alicia Quilantang and her husband, Ricardo, Tammy Magallanes and her husband, Jose, John-Anthony Gardea and his wife, Alice, Ronald S. Baca Jr. and his fiancé Christina, Michelle Gonzalez and her husband, Jose, Elena Flores and her husband, Gary, Samantha Serna, Richard Serna Jr., Elizabeth Mata, Kimberly Mata and Christopher Mata, all of Stockton; 15 great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews.

Jan Groen became friends with Irene Ulanowski when they were both in the same nursing home after Irene's stroke. Jan was discharged after rehab for a fall shortly before Irene's death. She wanted to be a good Catholic and was upset to hear of the changes in the Church, but wasn't really able to fully understand or act on them.
She passed away in late October of 2019 after a long battle with diabetes and many other health conditions. She was of a very anxious and depressed nature - please pray for her!
Her mother, Helen Groen, was also a devout Catholic (Jan had many of her statues and religious artwork in the spare room of her condo), but I have no idea as to her date of death.

Jean and her husband Kirby were born 5 days apart in the small town of Bloomer, WI. After their marriage, they had trouble applying for passports because their birth certificates had been issued on the same day and the passport office thought there had been a mistake!
They had an adventurous life together, moving to several different US states and even living abroad in Libya briefly due to Kirby's job with an oil company and later in sales.
They lived for many years near Georgetown, KY, but moved to West Chester, OH as they got up in years to be closer to Mass at St. Gertrude the Great in West Chester (Cincinnati), OH.
Both Jean and Kirby were pioneers in the traditional movement, hosting many priests and Masses in their various homes over the years. They were close friends with Charles Bellavia (also on this site) and his wife, Val.
Jean died suddenly but not unprovided on a Sunday afternoon, only minutes after receiving the Last Sacraments. She had made her last confession just two days earlier.
She is buried in Hamilton, IN, in the same cemetery as her toddler granddaughter, St. Monica Ann Bischel.

Joan Hartzell, age 92, of Madison Heights, passed away peacefully on September 9, 2026.
Joan was born in Chicopee, Massachusetts on October 12, 1933 to the late Walter and Helen Janas. The oldest of three, she was raised in a traditional Polish Catholic family. She graduated from Chicopee High School.
Joan was especially proud of her career as an executive secretary in Washington, D.C., where she worked for Congressman Edward Bolan in the 1950s and, a couple decades later, Senator Carl Levin of Michigan. She was also a real estate agent in the D.C. area prior to her return to Michigan.
As a Boston Red Sox fan since childhood, Joan was able to finally cheer her team to a World Series title at the age of 71.
Central to her life, however, was her Catholic faith including, most recently, as a parishioner at Our Lady Queen of Martyrs in Fraser, MI. Her faith was a source of strength and guidance throughout her many years.
Joan is survived by her five children: Tom (Jodi), Karen Robinson, Paul (Patti), Jean Colling (Jim), and Mary McAtamney (Darryl Scott); many grandchildren and great-grandchildren; and her brothers, Walter Janas Jr. of Great Falls, Montana, and Tom Janas of Chicopee, Massachusetts.

Father Martin Stepanich, 97, passed away November 18, 2012, at 9:30 p.m. at his residence. Traditional Requiem Mass was said by the Reverend Francis Miller, OFM, at St. Hugh Chapel in Milwaukee. Interment St. Mary's Seminary Cemetery, Lemont, IL.
Father Martin, son of Joe and Agnes Stepanich, was born Frank Vincent Stepanich, at Neodesha on November 12, 1915. He grew up on the Joe and Agnes Stepanich farm, 7 miles southeast of Neodesha. He attended elementary school at Brooks School which was one fourth mile from the farm home, and attended freshman year high school at Neodesha High School.
In 1930, he entered St. Joseph's Minor Seminary in Mayslake, IL, and then later transferred to St. Mary's Seminary, Lemont, IL, to study, and become a Roman Catholic Franciscan priest, with designation Fr. Martin Stepanich, OFM, Order of Friar Minor, of the Franciscan Order. His final Vow was on September 3, 1938, and he was ordained on May 14, 1941 at St. Mary's Seminary, Lemont, IL. His first Solemn High Mass was at St. Ignatius Catholic Church in Neodesha on June 15, 1941.
After his ordination he continued study Catholic University in Washington DC, completing studies in 1948 with a degree of STD, or Doctor of Sacred Theology. After completing study at Catholic University, he was assigned to a Franciscan Parish in Johnstown, PA. After about 5 months in Johnstown, he returned to St. Mary's Seminary, Lemont, IL, where he taught at colleges and schools, and said Mass in the Lemont area for many years. He also tended the garden and constructed various monuments while at St. Mary's Seminary.
For his annual one month vacations, he would drive the 700 miles to Neodesha to spend the month at the farm, where he grew up, and to be with the rest of the family.
Although the Traditional Catholic Mass was altered with the Vatican Council II after 1962, Fr. Martin continued saying the Traditional Latin Mass for as long as he was able, up to October 2010, when he was 95 years old. In that 69 years of saying Mass, he said the Traditional Latin Mass more than 26,000 times.
Although Fr. Martin was completely dedicated to the duties of the priesthood, he was very fond of planting vegetables in the garden, and raising outstandingly attractive flowers. At St. Mary's Seminary, he planted a very large garden providing the tomatoes, carrots, cabbage, lettuce, potatoes, sweet corn, beans, etc. as consumed at the seminary. People seeing his flower plants, marveled at how attractive his lilies and other flowers were. He also constructed various monuments at St. Marys' Seminary, one of which was a rosary along a small ravine, with small statues and evergreen bushes for the rosary beads, which was quite a work of art.
Fr. Martin was preceded in death by his parents, Joe and Agnes Stepanich, and six brothers and sisters, Joe, Ann, Sr. Susanne, Henry, Edward and Mary. He is survived by two brothers, John and Fred. Arrangements by Markiewicz Funeral Home, P.C.

Novus Ordo Catholic (accepted Vatican II)
Father of 4, he was a teacher of Chemistry and Biology in
high school, later worked in distribution of newspaper. Growing up he did not know the true Faith, as
my grandfather was agnostic and my grandmother a mixture of Spiritualist/Santeria
and Catholicism. He knew the real Mass, when he was a child my grandmother used
to go the Church that was near the house, which lasted just thru his childhood
since they moved, and a chapel was not nearby. During is young adult years, he
was involved with Spiritualism, until my mother started having dreams with the
Sacred Heart of Jesus, which she did not know. My mother, realizing that was
God’s calling she went out to seek the Catholic Church. Sadly, in Puerto Rico,
the Novus ordo destroyed all vestiges of the Catholic Church. However, in this
process my dad found the faith (although distorted), and totally left the
syncretism that he had spoused earlier due to his upbringing. In spite the distorted
of the Faith by the Novus ordo, his aspiration was to be Catholic, since the
real Mass was very dear to his heart and he long for it, lamenting the “Church”
had change it. He was a traditional Novus ordo, his conversion happened at the
hand of elder Benedictine monks (they were ordained with pre-1969 rites) who
were very traditional leaning and did not see the changes as a good thing, but
they were compelled to follow due to their understanding of obedience. My dad
cared that we learn the faith, but his ways were such that all his children learn
to hate the Church and the Faith. By the good graces of God, I converted 8
years ago, and so my elder brother. I still have two more siblings that need conversion,
which with the help of God, I’m working through prayer to bring them to the Lord’s
vineyard. I’m not sure if he received the sacrament of extreme unction, but at
least I know that it was an elder priest who went out to visit him in his last
days (I was not there), which give me hope that he made it. My dad has so much
to atone for, I beg that in your kindness remember him in your prayers, I know
that being who he was, he will remember you.

Raymond and his wife, Margaret, purchased the current chapel at St. Theresa's in O'Neill, NE, for $650 when the Novus Ordo in Clearwater, 30 miles away, was selling it at auction. They were also able to acquire many of the furnishings, down to the altar boy cassocks and surplices.
With the help of many others, the church was then transported to the outskirts of O'Neill, where it now sits. Raymond built the small parish hall, now the kitchen, as a later addition. Bp. Mark Piverunas, CMRI, celebrated the first Mass there on Easter Sunday and vested outside as the sacristy was not attached yet.
Raymond is buried next to his wife and infant grandson, St. Stanley Klabenes, in the cemetery onsite.

Sedevacantist (rejected Vatican II)
In 1958, McKenna was ordained a priest for the Dominican order by Cardinal Amleto Cicognani (1883-1973); he was consecrated a bishop on August 22, 1986, by Bp. Michel-Louis Guerard des Lauriers, O.P. (1898-1988), the theologian who wrote the so-called Ottaviani Intervention against Paul VI’s Novus Ordo Missae in 1969.
Bp. McKenna was co-founder of the Orthodox Roman Catholic Movement (ORCM) together with Fr. Francis Fenton (no relation to Mgr. Joseph Fenton) in the earliest days of public Sedevacantism.
Like his consecrator Bp. Guerard des Lauriers, McKenna was a proponent of the Cassiciacum Thesis (a.k.a. the Material-Formal Thesis or “Sedeprivationism”) regarding the papal claimants since Vatican II. In a nutshell, this complex theory holds that although the “popes” since Vatican II are not true popes, they nevertheless possess a valid election to the Roman pontificate, and, for this reason, would automatically become pope if they should renounce their heresies and convert to Catholicism. They are, in a sense, “pope-elect” — validly chosen and designated to be pope, but unable to actually be pope because of an obstacle they have placed in the way (heresy). This thesis, which rests on considerable theological ground, originated with Bp. Guerard des Lauriers and is adhered to by a number of sedevacantists around the globe. In the United States, its most well-known defender is Bp. Donald Sanborn, who was consecrated by Bp. McKenna on June 19, 2002.

Sam was a beloved husband and father of 8 living children. His 3 child, Yolanda, died at age 3 from cancer. He married his wife, Maria, after serving in the Vietnam War. Like so many from his generation, it took time for him to recognize that the Church had been infiltrated by modernists.
When his younger children were still quite little, in the late 1980’s, Sam found the True Mass and thankfully, even his adult children followed his lead and became sedevacantist.
Sam was inspiring to many & his most prized possession was his Catholic Faith.
He died with a Rosary in his hands calling out the name of “Mary” after a 2 year battle with bone cancer. May God have mercy on his soul.
