Fr. Lawrence Jenco, a Service priest and director of Catholic Relief Services in Lebanon was taken hostage in Beirut and held for 564 days in captivity--days of unrelenting boredom interspersed with bursts of terror. Died July 19, 1996.

Wasn’t he a Servite priest? Did autocorrect get you? I heard him give a talk at Christ the King parish and Catholic Campus Ministry in Missoula, MT years ago about his ordeal. Powerful.
