Mystery Priest on Missouri Highway 19
The story of a "mystery priest" who prayed with an accident victim on Missouri Highway 19 hit the wires Friday (8/9). CNN, USA Today and myriad news outlets carried the account of a priest who appeared at the scene of a terrible accident, prayed with and anointed the accident victim, assured the first responders that their equipment would now be able to cut her free and then disappeared. He didn't show up in the 70 or so photographs of the accident scene. Most likely it was a case of being in the right place at the right time, and then going on his way. On the other hand - they say he had an Irish accent and north Missouri was the main missionary territory of Father John Hogan 150 years ago ... before he founded the settlement in the area now called Irish Wilderness......hmmmmm....
