Father Dan Merz, SLD, current pastor in Linn and Frankenstein, speaks with Burnell Keilholz at Sunday’s drive-up donation at Our Lady, Help of Christians Parish. Fr. Merz will succeed Fr. Litzau as pastor of St. Thomas More Newman Center parish in Columbia, and will continue as chairman of the Diocesan Liturgical Commission. He is leaving at the end of the month. Father Dan Merz rings a bell to indicate a donation had been made at Sunday’s farewell to parishioners at Our Lady, Help of Christians Parish in Frankenstein. More than 100 people came out to visit with Fr. Merz, who will celebrate his final Mass in Osage County June 28 at St. George in Linn. Father Dan Merz as part of his farewell Sunday at Our Lady, Help of Christians Parish accepts a donation from Mike Rackers. Father Dan Merz was honored for his service at Sunday’s reception at Our Lady, Help of Christians Parish in Frankenstein. Vince Samson stands waiting to make a donation in lieu of the parish picnic, which was canceled due to the pandemic.
