Rev. David Austen, right, pours himself a bowl full of butternut squash soup as Faith Formation Teachers Maureen Grimes of Johnsburg, left, and Kathleen Haugh of Wonder Lake serve a soup supper to the congregation and other members of the public during a "Soup and Stations" service at St. Mary's Church on Friday, April 5, 2019 in McHenry. The church and its congregation are one of a small handful of local McHenry County Catholic Churches in a healing phase, attempting to put the events of past sexual abuse allegations behind them. Harlan Clapsaddle and James Gaynor are two of six former local pastors named by the Rockford Diocese as having sexual abuse allegations, and both have ties to the McHenry St. Mary's church.
