Resident Priests
Kenai-Soldotna
Homer and Seward
-A milestone in the history of
the Catholic parishes on the
Kenai Peninsula was reached
on Sunday, June 11, when for
the first time resident priests
said Mass at Seward, Kenai,
and Homer. Three Redemptor
ist Fathers from Portland ar
rived on the Peninsula on
Tuesday, June 6, to take up the
duties of the Peninsula-wide
parish which Father Custer of
Seward had formerly had to
serve as a “traveling pastor.”
Father Van Hoomissen will
be pastor of the Kenai-Soldotna
area; Father Palmer of the
Seward area; and Father Wood
ruff of the Homer area. Should
a need arise for more parishes,
the rtedemptorist Order is pre
pared to send still more, as
their order is designed for per
manent organization and estab
lishment in the areas they enter.
The Redemptorist Order has
missions in 47 countries, includ
ing Siam and South America;
the Portland Province includes
the Western States, Alaska, the
Philippines, and Hawaii.
Father Van Hoomissen was
ordained 12 years ago. Since
then he has had parishes in
Oakland, Great Falls, and
Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. He
taught in the college at Great
Falls, Montana; and was super
intendent of schools in Coeur
d’Alene. For three years he
worked with the missions of
the 14 western states. Cold
weather doesn’t scare him; he
says Alaska is his choice, and
he much prefers it to the Ama
zon jungle where his brother
has been working for over a
decade.
To bid farewell to Father
Custer and to welcome the new
arrivals, a Pot-luck Dinner for
all parishioners was held at the
Soldotna Community Hall on
Monday, June 12, at which time
a purse was given to Father
Custer for a departure gift.
