THE 125TH ANNIVERSARY of the parish of St. Paul the Apostle in Hancock was celebrated last weekend with a Mass with Bishop Howard J. Hubbard and other parish events. "The other day I took a walk in our cemetery and looked at the names of those placed in the ground there. There are many names of old Hancock families....They are our parish; they are our saints," said Rev. Christopher Welch, pastor. Above, the Bishop, Father Welch and Rev. Gordon Polenz of Sacred Heart parish in Sidney kneel at the altar for the litany of the saints. For more photos, see The Evangelist's print edition. (Nate Whitchurch photo)
