Well, according to the Great Falls Tribune, a "local boy done good" is coming home to celebrate Christmas Masses in his hometown of tiny Hobson, Mont.:

"This Christmas season, the parishioners of Hobson's Sacred Heart Catholic Church will enjoy a special gift -- one rarely available to people living in small rural communities. A visiting priest will assist with the Christmas Masses, one whose resume includes art studies in Florence, Italy, an internship in the U.S. Senate; who has studied Elizabethan culture at Oxford University; and who who is currently working to complete his doctorate in Theology at Cambridge University in England.

The Rev. Kevin Grove is taking time off from his studies in England and has made the trip to Hobson to visit with the people of central Montana. But while his academic pedigree certainly commands respect, many in congregation this Christmas Eve are likely to just think of him as Kevin, the red-headed kid in town who used to always have his nose in a book. That's because Grove is a local boy who's done well -- exceptionally well -- and it all started when he was growing up on a farm outside of Hobson."
