This is my first thread on this wonderful website. I was searching for information on my pal from the US Army Chaplaincy in Heidelberg, Germany in 1997-98, Fr. Tim Vakoc, who is now healing and recovering in the VA Hospital in Minneapolis, MN, from wounds from an IED which disabled him in Iraq in May 2004. The blast killed his chaplain assistant. They were returning from Mass outside Baghdad that Sunday. My search for news of his recovery led me to this website. A response to my request to find the family’s website for Fr. Tim led to a reply which reocmmended that I post this request here!

I want to encourage you to pray for Fr. Tim. He has already made slow but miraculous progress, considering how serious his wounds were and how infection of his brain nearly killed him. In June 2004, I prayed in the Notre Dame Chapel at South Bend, because I believed that might lift Tim’s and his family’s morale. I didn’t expect a miracle then, but I hoped for one. Today I read that Fr. Tim has spoken a few words, which was considered impossible by the medical staff. Please add your prayers to mine in this ecumenical effort toward healing for Fr. Tim. If you knew him as a friend as I did in the US Army, you would love him and admire him too. God bless you!
 
I have read about Fr. Tim Vakoc (in The Michigan Catholic newspaper if I remember correctly). I will remember Fr. Vakoc in my daily prayers and at Mass. :gopray2:

I have been praying for Fr Tim since it happened. His website used to be on caringbridge, but doesn’t seem to be there now.
 
Welcome indeed Father!👋

I will be keeping Father Tim in prayer…Barb
 
Eternal rest grant unto Fr. Tim, O Lord. And may Your Perpetual Light shine upon him. May he rest in peace.
