"In memory of Msgr. Edward Bartsch, who died on Easter Sunday"

As the First Baptist Church's New King James Bible cites Hebrews 7:17 ...

"For He testifies You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek."



Original headlines are from Today's Catholic. Friday, May 7, 2010.


"Msgr. Edward Charles Bartsch, pastor of Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Parish in Praha, passed away Easter Sunday, April 4, at the age of 89.

"Until days before his death, Msgr. Bartsch, who preferred to be called Father,* had been an active pastor at St. Mary's Parish in Praha since 1993."
