Donald W. CongerRESIDENCES: Holy Family Parish, Kirkwood, WA
OCCUPATION-CHURCH_AFFILIATION: Catholic priest
RECOLLECTIONS: In 1977, he wrote:
Recently, I was on a trip which involved a couple of free days in Salt Lake City. While there I spent most of my time studying in the LDS library. While the Mormons might have been a bit surprised to learn who this strange old fat and bald headed man was, for me it was a pretty exciting experience to trace my roots back to John Belconger. My most interesting discovery was in the microfilmed records of the family where I ran acrosss a letter written around 1902, or so, by a Great aunt Zilpha (sister of my grandfather, John Remember Daniel Conger). It was the first news I had that I even had a great aunt Zilpha.As you might suspect, I have only recently become interested in the history of our family. While my father told me various legends about our Huguenot origins, I am beginning to realize that these well meaning stories were perhaps more fiction than fact. It was both surprising and gratifying to discover at this late date how much work has already been done in researching our family's origins.
In your kind letter you mentioned my grandfather's painting of a pioneer scene in Tacoma. I remember this painting very well. Throughout my boyhood it used to hang in the front hallway of our family home. After the death of my parents it was given to my Uncle George and after his death to the Washington State Historical Museum.
I was raised in Fircrest, a suburb of Tacoma, and graduated from Stadium High in 1939. About a year before graduation, entirely alone, I became a convert to the Catholic Church. I then had four years of college and four years of theology at St. Edward's Seminary, Kenmore, WA, and was ordained to the priesthood on May 31, 1947.
My more than thirty years as a priest have been happy years. I have served in several parishes here in the Archdiocese of Seattle (western Washington) and for the past eight years or so have been pastor of Our Lady Star of the Sea Church, Bremerton, Washington.
