St. Augustine’s/St. Patrick’s Oratory Pastor Honored
By John T. Ryan
Peru – A celebration continued yesterday. On May 6th hundreds of St. Augustine’s parishioners and friends celebrated the 40th anniversary of Father Alan Shnob’s ordination to the priesthood. On Sunday, July 8, 2018 the celebration continued at St. Patrick’s Oratory/Mother Cabrini Shrine when Father Alan learned that two beautiful benches have been installed in his honor. Jane Woods and Linda Manchester unveiled the benches on behalf of the parish and St. Monica’s Court of the Catholic Daughters. The benches overlook a sundial honoring Father Shnob’s late mother Connie Shnob.
Father Alan Shnob has overseen the transformation of an aging oratory and shrine into one of the most beautiful and peaceful places in the north country. Visitors stop daily to pray and to walk the expansive grounds where they marvel at the beautiful views of Peru and much of the Champlain Valley. It’s a place a of peace and a place to marvel at God’s marvelous gifts to His people.
