Hearing that Fr. Mark was killed in a wreck today. Anyone know any details? I enjoyed him when he was in the BR area

Hearing it took place on I-55. Apparently traffic was stopped and he didn’t see it in time. Swerved off and hit a tree. That’s all I know.

Is this Father Mark Holland that was at St. James?

Father Beard was a very bright light in his own Amite community and beyond, he will be much missed.

I’m super bummed. Really enjoyed his homilies and fire for the Lord.

I love Father Mark, and very much respect him. He completely changed Amite, and people of all Faiths looked up to him. His tragic passing will be a shock to the many that worked under his inspiration, vision, bravery and leadership.
I had many questions to ask him, but he was always so busy. He quit the 'high life' way back in order to serve what he believed was the best way (RCC) to answer a calling that he felt within. He was a very handsome man, powerful presence and could have cruised through life at the top. But he answered that call to serve something greater than Worldly adventures, unlike many on his level who do not. Total commitment.
I had listened to his Homily re the potentially abusive Government 'control' dangers of "digital money" not long ago, where he took it to em', like he always did. We teased him about being on 'The List" and he said he knew he'd be "getting a call". He knew there were problems but was honest about them.
Though I am not a part of his beloved Church, I hope to be a better person for having known Father Mark. He was there when I needed someone of his stature. And given these troublesome times, his presence will be sorely missed. He knew what is coming.
Thank you, Father Mark. I'll try to do better. See you in the next life.

Learned from him why someone gets called salt of the earth

Horrible news. He was a straight shooter & a great man.

Yeah... He came to visit my wife's grandmother in the hospital recently. First priest I've talked to since a buddy died 20 years ago.
He was exactly what a good priest should be. A kind caring individual who can brighten a room.
