a 8 The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, November 4, 1998 Rector (continued from page 1) could not continue. At that moment, he felt the priest put his arm around Nagy and give him a supportive hug. But when Nagy looked up, he saw the priest was still sitting in his place and had never gotten up. That was the turning point. “Short of hitting me over the head, I think God was telling me something,” he said. “When I finally made the decision to be a priest it was like a burden had been lifted.” But, the change from secular success to the priesthood was not so simple. He and his wife spent plenty of time praying over the move, he said. “The decision was not totally without fear. I was married with two children,” ex- plained Nagy. “It felt right even though I was leaving behind that kind of financial security.” Nagy was ordained in 1994 and worked at St. Mary's in Phoenix before moving to Dallas. “The reason I came to this church is because it is alive and the people are so enthusiastic about doing God's work,” said Nagy, who turned down another offer to come to Prince of Peace. “It’s an absolute joy to be here. The church is organized in a way that we can do anything God calls us to do.” Nagy also said the continuing growth of the Back Mountain community makes it an exciting time for the church. The Reverend Joseph S. Prater was the previous rector who served the church for 35 years before retiring last year. For just over a year interim priests served the community before Nagy was hired. Nagy said both his professional career and 20 years as an active lay person in the church helped shape him for his new role. He believes active lay people are vital to the church and should be al- lowed to do many things that pre- vious priests believed only they should do. Nagy cited bringing communion to the homebound as one example. At Prince of Peace, Jim Saba is the senior warden and David Fritz is the junior war- den. The new rector is an active hiker and reader who loves to travel. His children attend Dallas Middle and Dallas High Schools. Nagy describes his wife as “a won- derful partner in ministry” who is artistic and very loving and sup- portive. : A celebration of the new minis- try and the institution of Rev. Nagy will be held on Nov. 7 at 4:30 p.m. at the church. A reception will follow at The Castle Inn.

DeGeorge says it is hard to enforce the current code, and he has yet to give anyone a citation. “It wouldn't be fair,” he says, be- cause it was not enforced before. Changes are in store, however, and DeGeorge plans to attack the problem in time for the next sum- mer season. “I have to go by the law,” he says. Residents currently renting Job Johnnies have threatened DeGeorge that they will do the obvious if forced to give up their portable facilities. “I'd hate to see all of these people using the lake instead of the Job Johnnies,” DeGeorge says.
