OBLATE
DIES — Rev. Egbert Stang, OMI, died at his home
at Mazenod Residence in Saskatoon June 28. Born in 1927 at Macklin, Sask.,
Stang entered the novitiate of the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate
at St. Laurent, Man. in 1947 and was ordained in 1953. He began teaching
at St. Thomas College in North Battleford in 1954 and served as principal
from 1972 - 1980. From 1985 until his retirement, Stang served as parish
priest in his home parish at Macklin, then with the mission of St. Donatus,
St. Joseph's Parish in Winnipeg, and finally at St. John Vianney Parish
in La Ronge, Sask. Stang published six books, each a reflection of his
own life and spirituality. Always upbeat, even in the face of his own
physical limitations, he was known for his daily jokes.  |
