Father Tim Never Surrendered
Chaplain (Major) Henry T. Vakoc has passed away. We first covered the story of this holy man on May 20, 2005. The Rev. Timothy Vakoc was remembered Friday as a man who went to war to bring peace to his fellow soldiers, and somehow managed to continue his ministry after returning home with devastating injuries. Fellow priests and military chaplains were among hundreds of people who turned out for Vakoc’s funeral at the Cathedral of St. Paul. Father Tim, as he was known, died last Saturday at age 49 after an unidentified injury at St. Therese nursing home in New Hope, where he was living.
