St. Francis Xavier Parish, Spokane, celebrated its 100th anniversary last December. Among the events were a concelebrated Mass and a dinner/reception. Among the dinner guests were priests who have had, or now have, a connection with the parish. From left are Father Joachim Hiên (former pastor), Jesuit Father Frank Costello, Father Victor Blazovich (present pastor), Father James Mangan, Father Gustavo Ruiz (present parochial vicar), and Jesuit Father Joseph Conwell. The two Jesuit priests both attended St. Francis Xavier School. (IR photo from Marge Ivanis)
