Compass Correspondent
Family and friends of Teresa Halbach, 25, of St. John, who was allegedly murdered on Oct. 31, have found consolation for their grief with several prayer services in her honor. These included a service held on the afternoon of Nov. 11 at St. John-Sacred Heart Parish in Sherwood. It was held at the same time that the conclusions of police investigations into Halbach's disappearance were announced.
Fr. David Zimmerman, pastor of St. John-Sacred, led a 1:30 p.m. prayer service. Students from St. John-Sacred Heart School, provided the prayers, music and song. Halbach had coached seventh grade girls volleyball at the school, where her youngest sister is a seventh grader.
Fr. Zimmerman spoke about the faith of the local community and the Halbach family during the unfolding of this tragedy. The Halbach family, through Mike Halbach, Teresa's younger brother, have often spoken of their Catholic faith and belief in God's presence to them and Teresa.
The network of prayer will continue with a visitation and prayer vigil for Halbach on Friday, Nov. 18, at the St. John-Sacred Heart School in Sherwood. The visitation will be from 4 to 8 p.m., with a prayer vigil at 7 p.m. An 11 a.m. memorial Mass is scheduled Saturday, Nov. 19, at John Church, in St. John. Full story ...
