Milwaukee connections

I have arrived in Milwaukee, WI.  Yesterday I found my way to St. Camillas Center where my old friend Fr. Ted Hottinger resides.  It was great to see him.  He ministered at Sts. Peter and Paul for about 30 years and is well known around town.  As his health began to slip, last August he made the move here to reside in a Jesuit care community.  He certainly misses Mankato but has found a lovely residence and a caring community.  He goes out and says two masses a week in nursing homes in the area.  So he remains as active as he is able.  In the picture and living in the same place is Fr. Karl Voellker, a former pastor at SSPP.  Actually he was the final Jesuit pastor, leaving in 2008.  It was a delight to see them both.
