What a joy it was to photograph Monsignor Robert Laliberte’s 50th Anniversary of his priestly ordination in August of 2023. To celebrate, he offered mass at St. Anthony’s Catholic Church in Fargo. It was touching to see how many people joined him for the celebration to show love and support, but also to stand as a testament to all the people he’s touched during his 50 years as a priest.
After Mass, all the faithful who were gathered went to the parish social hall to continue the celebration. There were multiple priests, deacons, and laity that got up to speak about Monsignor and how he had touched their lives before Monsignor spoke to all that were gathered. It was a beautiful celebration of the fifty years that he as dedicated to the priesthood.
Here are some of my favorite images from the event:
