Master storyteller Roy Wenzl will discuss his book “The Miracle of Father Kapaun” at the Hays Public Library on April 20 at 2 p.m. in the Schmidt Gallery.
Father Emil Kapaun, a Kansas native, was a priest and U.S. Army chaplain who won the Medal of Honor for actions in combat and in a North Korean prisoner of war camp. Kapaun also is being considered by the Vatican for canonization as a saint.
The book, authored by Wenzl and Travis Heying, chronicles Kapaun’s service and alleged miracle healings. Kapaun died in captivity in 1951.
Wenzl is an award-winning Wichita journalist, who is also the primary author of “Bind, Torture, Kill: The Inside Story of BTK, the Serial Killer Next Door.”
