Celebrations held for Fr. Kerry Prendiville’s silver jubilee

Three gatherings were held June 6 and 7 to observe the 25th anniversary of Fr. Kerry Prendiville’s ordination, June 7, 1984.

Back row — Teresa Hecker, Father Prendiville, Kirby Prendiville, Shawn Prendiville, and Kelly Prendiville. The back drop is a quilt sewn by Hecker — instead of a guest book, attendees signed the quilt with markers. (Top right) Bishop Blase Cupich was the principal celebrant at Mass June 7 in Lead; behind him stands Father Prendiville. Also concelebrating were Fathers Raymond Deisch, Piedmont, and Tim Hoag, Spearfish. Following the Mass a brunch was served in the parish hall. (Lower left) At the brunch, Tim Johns and Mike Chaput presented Father Prendiville with gifts — a commemorative plaque and a pass to Rapid City Rush hockey games — from the Knights of Columbus, the Altar Society, and the Parish Council. In the afternoon an open house was also held in Lead. (WRC photos by Laurie Hallstrom) (Lower right) Deacon Ray Klein, Belle Fourche; Fr.
