Hard lessons learned during the Depression aid priest in ministry for the past 70 years
Father Hilary Meny entered Saint Meinrad Seminary in St. Meinrad just weeks before the stock market crash of 1929. During the Great Depression that followed, he learned many hard lessons about faithfulness, perseverance, stewardship and flexibility. These and many other qualities define the life and ministry of Father Meny, only the second priest in the history of the Archdiocese of Indianapolis to mark 70 years as a priest. (Page 1)
