Father Hilary Meny Turns 100!
Archbishop Joseph W. Tobin, left, of Indianapolis, shares a joyous moment on Jan. 18 with retired Father Hilary Meny and Bishop Charles C. Thompson during the 100th birthday celebration for Father Meny, which was held at Sts. Peter and Paul Parish in Haubstadt, where Father Meny grew up.
He served 50 years of pastoral ministry in the Archdiocese of Indianapolis after being ordained in 1940 – four years before the Vatican created the Diocese of Evansville. Father Meny and members of his family welcomed scores of local friends – and even more who traveled from outside the area – to the celebration.
