Fr. Jack Paul Celebrates Golden Jubilee
Tuesday, 26 August 2008 00:00

Fr. Joe Jablonski, MSC and Fr. Jack Paul, MSCOn Saturday, August 17th, Fr. Jack Paul, MSC celebrated his golden jubilee. The 12:00 Mass at Holy Guardian Angels Church in Reading, PA was full as regular parishioners, family, friends and fellow MSC gathered to celebrate Fr. Paul’s 50th anniversary as a priest. Following the Mass, approximately 100 people attended the reception held at the nearby dining hall of the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart. Among those present were Fr. Jack's three sisters: Monica Miller, Edith Moorman and Nancy Quire.  Also attending was Senator Michael Opake, (who is from the parish and was a schoolmate of Fr. Paul's sister Monica) who presented Fr. Paul with a special plaque in his honor.

Fr. Jack was ordained a priest in 1958 in Rome, Italy while pursuing his Licentiate in Sacred Theology from Gregorian University. After completing his studies there, he returned to the United States and earned a Doctorate of Canon Law from Catholic University in 1962. That same year, his book The Recipient of the Sacrament of Penance was published. Fr. Jack's first assignment was as a teacher at the Sacred Heart Seminary in Shelby, OH. He has served as the Director of the Theologate, Chairperson of the Ministry to Members Board, a member of the Provincial Council and as the local Superior of the MSC community in Pennsylvania. Fr. Paul has also worked in parish ministry (as parochial vicar at Holy Family Parish in Nazareth, PA) and has extensive experience as a judge in various diocesan tribunals, including those of Chicago, IL, Allentown, PA and Youngstown.

In addition to English, Fr. Jack speaks Italian and German. For the past six years he has served as Judicial Vicar for the Allentown Diocesan Tribunal. The MSC congratulate Fr. Paul on his 50 years of ministry and his dedication to making the Sacred Heart of Jesus known everywhere!
