I remember him as the last pastor of the little parish out in the country from my home town. He was a good, gentle soul, loved the Church, loved Our Lady, loved the priesthood.
If you could, please pray a quick prayer for this devoted servant who has gone to his rest after many years of toil in the Lord's Vineyard.

Praying for this servant who has returned home. Thank you for your service and ministry Fr. Boeke. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Amen.
I was able to attend the funeral mass for father. It was great! There were 60+ priest's all on the altar, and the homilist, Reverend Vincent Hoying, C.PP.S., Had a GREAT homily on Fr.Boeke's life!
The little chapel was PACKED. It was so good to be able to be there. May we pray for his soul while in heaven with our Almighty Father!
