Pastor’s Notes
“Best at Loving Jesus”
An Interview with Father Colin Haganey
“I want to be remembered as a priest who did a good job of working hard, a better job at having fun and the best
job at loving Jesus.”
This is how Father Colin Haganey (pronounced CAH-lin HAY-guh-nee), newly ordained priest for the Arch-
diocese, responded to a question posed to him near the end of this interview as to how he would want to be re-
membered when it was time for him to leave Curé of Ars for another parish. These characteristics are how some
of us remember Fr. Haganey from his time in the parish during the summer of 2017. Fr. Haganey indicated that
span of service in 2017 has been helpful in adjusting to being associate pastor in that he already knows some of
the people, and he already knows the basic weekly schedule of the parish.
Born and raised in Leavenworth, KS, Fr. Haganey is the eldest of five children of Charlie and Jennifer Ha-
ganey. His younger siblings are Avery 25, Phoebe 20, Katie 16 and Chandler 14. His dad is a manager at a
Walgreens Store and his mother is presently a stay at home mom. She has owned several businesses in down-
town Leavenworth in the past.
Fr. Haganey attended Conception Seminary College in Conception, MO and then Kenrick School of Theolo-
gy in St. Louis for graduate school. When asked who was most influential in his answering God’s call to the
priesthood, Fr. Haganey spoke of two people – both now priests. Early in his seminary formation years, he relied
on the example of a fellow seminarian, Anthony Saiki to learn how best to follow Jesus. In later years, it was the
kindness and support of Father Richard Storey that sustained him especially when the going sometimes got rough
in the seminary.
On an introspective note, Fr. Haganey identified public speaking as a God-given talent that would be valuable
in performing his duties as a priest. He is hopeful this gift will translate well into giving good homilies.
When asked to describe his goals at Curé of Ars, he cited the advice often given to new priests: sit and look
out the window the first year. Basically be there, listen and learn. In addition, he wants to be a happy and holy
priest. Rather than set goals for himself, he wants to be open to what the Holy Spirit has planned for him, and he
wants to help Fr. Storey in leading our parish closer to Jesus Christ.
The person whose traits he most admires and wants to emulate is Father Storey. He sees in Fr. Storey a priest
who works hard, has fun and loves Jesus: “That should be the goal of every priest and I hope to be as successful
at doing those things as Fr. Storey has.”
Fr. Haganey wants to thank Fr. Storey for being such a fantastic role model for himself and for all the encour-
agement and support over the last few years leading to ordination. He added, “It is truly a blessing to get to be the
associate pastor for a priest for whom I have a deep respect and great friendship.” He also wants to thank his
grandmother, Mary, who has been such a huge support leading to ordination. “If I ever needed ANYTHING, she
made sure I had it. It would have been much more difficult financially getting through seminary if she was not
around.”
Father Haganey offered the following advice to youngsters considering becoming a priest, brother or sister: If
you are thinking about being a priest or religious, just give it a go. You don’t sign away your life the second you
go to the seminary or enter the novitiate, but these are the best places to determine if this is what you are called to
do long term.
Welcome to Curé of Ars, Father Haganey. May your time here be filled with blessings for your hard work,
joy in your fun-filled activities and success under the influence of the Holy Spirit in doing your best at loving Je-

Copy Paper for Holy Name School
As you may know, Curé of Ars’
school and Holy Name School in
Kansas City, Ks are sister schools.
While Holy Name is only 20 minutes
north of us, they struggle financially to provide the
basic needs for their kids. One recurring cost is copy
paper. Again this year we would like to collect enough
copy paper to last them the entire year. Can you donate
one ream (500 sheets)? Or maybe you have a business
or access to a whole case. Just drop your copy paper in
the vestibule this week or next weekend. You can also
write a check to (Holy Name school) or with any cash
we receive, we will buy the paper when it is on sale.
With your help, we can eliminate their budget item
again this year. Any questions, please call Ed
McGurren, 913.341.4544. God Bless.
