Priest Celebrates Golden Anniversary
Volume 4, Edition 1, DEARBORN, MICHIGAN Spring, 1999
Fr. Edmund D. Muir (‘41), celebrated the 50th anniversary of his priesthood at St. Clement’s parish — where he’d been Pastor for 11 years — with a Mass at three p.m. Sunday, May 23rd — followed by a reception and dinner.
Fr. Muir earned his B.A. at Sacred Heart Seminary in Detroit, and his Master’s from Catholic University, Washington, D.C. After his ordination on May 21, 1949, Fr. Muir was assigned to Visitation Parish where he served five years as Assistant Pastor. He then served as Assistant Pastor at Epiphany parish. In 1957, he was assigned as temporary administrator of epiphany. In 1958 he became temporary Assistant Pastor of Our Lady of Victory parish, where he served for five years.
In 1963 he became Assistant Pastor at Annunciation parish. Five years later, he became Pastor at Epiphany Parish, where he would remain for 14 years. In 1982 he became Pastor of St. Clement’s. He achieved Senior Priest Status in June 1993, at age 70, and has been in Florida since retirement — where he enjoys an occasional round of golf, or a trip to the beach.
When called upon, Fr. Ed assists parishes in his area by saying Mass. He’s Chaplain of Our Lay of Lourdes Knights of Columbus Council #9924 in Venice, Florida.
