Our Lady of Mercy Parish joins in prayer for the repose of the soul of Fr. Albert Heidecke, who holds a special place in our parish’s history.
Fr. Heidecke served as Parochial Vicar at Our Lady of Mercy from January 1999 to June 2001, including time serving alongside our founding pastor, Fr. Gerald Tivy. We are grateful for his priestly ministry, his service to our parish family, and the role he played in the life of Our Lady of Mercy.
