Fifty years ago on Oct. 17 my first cousin from North Battleford was ordained into Catholic priesthood. I still remember partaking of this glorious occasion. Nestor Gregoire, son of the late Paul and Madeliene, then became Father Nestor. He is still active in his ministry and eventually will retire, as he recently also celebrated his 75th birthday. Father Nestor is a special person, serving several parishes and their parishioners all these years.
