Father Richart To Serve As Chaplain

m _ __ *--4. ■■l I MB □Il Mi DH S

Drafted into the Armed Forces by the Chief of Catholic Chaplains through Archbishop Paul C. Schulte, Father Richart, Assistant Pastor of St. Christopher Catholic Church, expects to leave Speedway soon. Rev. Paul Richart was ordained at St. Meinard in May 1961 and was sent to St. Christopher as Assistant Pastor for his first and only assignment. Born in Seymour, Indiana on April 24, 1935, he moved with his parents when about two to Indianapolis where they lived on West 39th street. When he was about four, they moved to N. Tacoma street and he attended Kindergarten and grade school at St. Philip Neri Church school. When he was about thirteen, he entered St. Meinard high school and continued his college studies there, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree. His mother told us that he always liked sports and played football. She said that he 'never would pick a fight, but he never backed down either. During Father Richart’s six years in Speedway, he not only has served as Assistant Pastor of St. Christopher, a job with many diversified duties, as the saying of Masses, giving Holy Communion at times other than at the Masses, hearing confessions, giving intructions to non-Catholics, officiating at weddings and baptisms, and visiting the sick, but he has also taught afternoon

classes in religion at Cathedral, St. Mary’s, and Cardinal Ritter High Schools. And during the month of May, he has spent long hours over at the Race Track as Assistant Chaplain. Father Lindemann pastor of St. Christopher has been Catholic Chaplain at the Race Track ever since the church has been in Speedway. Father Richart has endeared himself to both young and old in the parish and in the community, and under his leadership the CYO Junior group has brought back trophies and fame to St. Christopher. He has been active in putting into practice the ecumenical wish of the Catholic Church, having invited Protestant groups to visit St. Christopher and taking CYO members to visit other churches. His father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Al Richart, now live in St. Mark’s parish. He has two brothers, Larry and Phil, and one sister, Joyce. On Sunday evening, May 14th, at 8:00 p.m., there will be a farewell party for Father Richart in the school social room to which not only all the members of St. Christopher are invited, but also all of his friends. No invitations have been issued. Parishioners and friends will present Father with a purse as a gift of appreciation for his untiring services during the past six years. At the time, this paper went to press, Father had not received his orders from the Air Force.
