The communities of Pocahontas and Fonda, making up St. Sebastian Parish, joined forces to honor Father Paul Nguyen on the 25th anniversary of his priestly ordination.
About 115 people enjoyed a meal at the KC Hall in Fonda. Knights from Fonda and Pocahontas grilled burgers, brats and hot dogs in the rain and ladies from both communities provided salads, bars and workers. A special blessing for Father Nguyen was given by Deacon Eldon Sullivan. The hall was decorated with cards made by parish children.
