GULF BREEZE | Father John Kelly borrowed a phrase from baseball great Lou Gehrig at the end of the Mass in celebration of his 25th anniversary of ordination to the priesthood.

Father Kelly was ordained Oct. 12, 1984, at the Co-Cathedral of St. Thomas More. He has served at Good Shepherd, Holy Name of Jesus, St. Ann, the Co-Cathedral of St. Thomas More, Blessed Trinity, St. Joseph the Worker, Our Lady of Victory, St. Margaret of Scotland (in DeFuniak Springs), and St. Sylvester Parish, where he has been the pastor since 2003.
