Richard Anthony Kluk was ordained a priest for the Diocese of Helena on Dec. 10. Despite icy roads across much of the diocese, over 50 brother priests and a busload of Anaconda Catholic Community parishioners were among the 200 people who witnessed Bishop George Leo Thomas ordain Father Richard. See pages 12-13 for more from the ordination. Above, Father Richard Kluk lays prostrate on the Cathedral of St. Helena floor as the Litany of Saints is sung.
