Parishioners get a scare at a Saturday evening mass at St.Francis Catholic Church, Traverse City Michigan. An unknown man walked up to the altar in the middle of Fr. Don’s reading of the gospel interrupting the service yelling as he approached. Ushers and parishioners quickly surrounded the man. The man stepped up onto the alter and Fr. Don asked “who are you”. The man responded yelling “hi, I am Joseph, I am he”. I bow to you all”. Fr. Don said God bless you”. Fr. Don handled this situation with kindness, compassion and with such grace! In response, the man said “and now I am leaving”. Peacefully, he walked out, escorted by the group of ushers assembled to assist. Father Don was unfazed by what had happened and quickly went back into reading the gospel. Police were arriving as the man exited the church and he was taken into custody for questioning. During these times of mass shootings, this incident momentarily had guests in attendance worried about what the man’s intentions were. At the end of mass, Fr.Don asked for prayers for those suffering from mental illnesses and praised those who quickly acted. 3-11-23.
