Fr. Salisbury receives warm welcome from parish community

by Lori L. Thul, Hutchinson MN

Following Fr. Salisbury’s arrival at his newly assigned parishes of St. Anastasia in Hutchinson and St. Boniface in Stewart, he was asked how he would like to be received in the parish community? Since Fr. Salisbury is a collector of toy tractors, and his father had Allis-Chalmers tractors, it just seemed appropriate that he would respond, "I would like to bless a tractor as my first official task."

So, Larry and Joan Karg of Hutchinson made available a D17 Allis-Chalmers tractor on the weekend of his introduction to the parishes on June 24-25.

In honor of Fr. Salisbury, receptions were held following all Masses.
