The Rev. Harry Cavanaugh of the Marion Cluster of Catholic parishes, pauses for prayer at the altar at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Maria Stein. Cavanaugh, 78, is a member of the Precious Blood Society. The Society, like other religious orders, continues to search for solutions to the priest shortage problem as present clergymen age and fewer candidates apply.
