CLASSIC HIT
Dominican Father Cayet Mangiaracina, parochial vicar of Holy Ghost Church in Hammond, La., plays a keyboard. The priest, now 72, co-wrote the '50s rock 'n' roll classic "Hello, Mary Lou, Goodbye Heart," which Ricky Nelson eventually made famous. Before he entered the seminary, the priest was the piano player for a rock 'n' roll group. (CNS/Juan Quinton)

**”Last year it was $35,000,” Father Mangiaracina said, smiling. “About three or four years ago, I got a check for $90,000.**
What a story! Glad all that money goes to charity now.
