Jack was ordained to the priesthood on June 29, 1934 in Holy Rosary Cathedral, Vancouver, by Most Rev. William M. Duke, D.D. Archbishop of Vancouver. Fr. Hennessy began his missionary career in 1935 as a missionary to the Native people in Williams Lake. Those were the days when much of his travel was on horse back. In 1948 he was named to St. Mary's Indian Residential School in Mission as Principal and Superior. Following this assignment he was appointed in 1954 to the Oblate Mission Band and was stationed in Vancouver where he earned an enviable reputation as an able Parish Missioner and Retreat master. In 1961 he was named Pastor of St. Peters, New Westminster, then returned for a brief period to Williams Lake before being elected Provincial Superior in 1968 of the newly formed St. Paul's Oblate Province in Western Canada. After this leadership ministry Fr. Jack served as a travelling missionary and parish priest in Penticton, Grand Forks, Hope, Boston Bar and Prince Rupert. Finally, in September, 2002, he moved to St. Anthony's, Agassiz to begin his well- deserved retirement. Prayers will be said 7:00 P.M.
