Father John Izral
celebrates 60 years of
priestly ministry
LATIMER -- Father John Izral celebrated the 60th anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood on May 26 at Christ the King Mission. Christ the King pastor Father
Thang Pham concelebrated the Mass. Afterwards, Father Thang and Christ the King parishioner Wanda Krohn joined Father Izral as he cut his anniversary cake. A native of
Catawba, Wisconsin, who will turn 90 on Nov. 30, Father Izral was ordained for the Diocese of Natchez on May
26, 1956, at the Pontifical College Josephinum in Worthington, Ohio. Father Izral held numerous assignments
during his years of active priestly ministry. He was assistant pastor of Sacred Heart Parish, Hattiesburg; founding
pastor of St. Joseph Parish in Gulfport and St. Mary Par-
ish in Woolmarket; pastor of St. Francis Xavier Parish
in Wiggins and founding pastor of Holy Spirit Parish in
Vancleave and Christ the King Mission in Latimer. He
retired in 1992 and lives in Bay St. Louis where he still
celebrates private Mass. Father Izral said he has kept
a log of how many Masses he has celebrated since his
ordination and, according to his estimate, his 60th an-
niversary Mass was his 29,017th.
