Mass in Memory of Ted Howden, Tues., Dec. 11th, 11:00 AM
On Tuesday, Dec. 11th the Diocese of the Rio Grande honored Episcopal Chaplain Ted Howden with a church service in each of the four Diocesan Deaneries. In the Southwest Deanery, St. Alban's will host the Mass. Seventy-six years ago, Dec. 11, the Rev. Chaplain Frederick B. "Ted" Howden Jr. died of starvation-induced pellagra in a Japanese Prisoner of War camp after selflessly giving his rations to others he felt needed them more. We observe his martyrdom as a measure of the price of ministry in the struggle for freedom. When World War II broke out Fr. Howden held the rank of Captain in the New Mexico State Guard, and was the Chaplain to the 200th Coast Artillery when it was sent to the Philippines in Sept. 1941. At the Fall of Bataan and Corregidor to Japanese forces in April 1942, Fr. Howden and his fellow soldiers were made prisoners of war and forced to make the Bataan Death March during which some 18,000 died.
