60 YEARS A PRIEST

April 12, 2002 Fr. De Pauw Celebrates his 60th anniversary to the priesthood. Father foregoes any public celebration of this milestone event due to the recent loss of the movements beloved secretary; the loss of one of the members of the Ave Maria Chapel family in the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, New York City, September 11, 2001, and several members of the Ave Maria Chapel and the Catholic Traditionalist Movement serving overseas with the U.S. Military in Operation Enduring Freedom, Afghanistan.
