September 11: The Cross at Ground Zero and Fr. Timothy Vakoc

 

What the terrorists couldn’t destroy

 

   

 and the Priest they couldn’t silence

 

 

Chaplain (Major) Henry T. Vakoc, Retired, a Roman Catholic Priest, was stationed in Iraq when he was wounded Saturday, May 29, 2004, the 12th anniversary of his ordination. He was returning from presiding at a Mass for the soldiers when his humvee was struck by an IED (improvised explosive device).

Father Tim was transported through Germany to Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, DC on 2 June. He has sustained a severe brain injury.

Fr. Tim has received a Purple Heart, the Bronze Star, and the Combat Action Award. We ask you to sign the guest book with words of encouragement and prayers for the needs of Fr. Tim, his mother, brother, sister, and their families. Read past guestbook and journal entries for updates, prayer requests, and inspirational words. (from his home page)
