Father Jacobs was called from this world on Friday, February 1, 1974, by our Creator to use him for His heavenly purpose. He was born of the marriage of Andrew Jacobs and Anna Beres on November 25, 1909, in Detroit, Michigan, in the very heart of Delray. Father’s regard for love and respect for people began in his early child-hood, formed by his dear parents. His desire was to enter the seminary. He was a student at Sacred Heart Seminary from 1924 - 1931. After graduation from Sacred Heart Seminary he was sent to the famous Archdiocesan Seminary in Kalocsa, Hungary, to further his Theology and to learn the Hungarian language, traditions and culture of the people. After 4 years of hard work and fruitful labor he was ordained to the Priesthood June 16, 1935 by Bishop Győző'Horváth. Returning to the United States he was appointed Assistant in 1935. He was Administrator for 2 years and was appointed as Pastor of Holy Cross Church June 17, 1942. With confidence in God, and the strong support and trust of his people, he began his roll as Pastor of Holy Cross Church and took the reigns of responsibility and held them strong and firm for every step that was ahead. During his Pastorate his leadership with civic activities and religious duties brought forth to the people a person that God had in His master plan. He was a shepherd of his flock and a pillar of the many civic and charitable activities that he participated and was affiliated with, both Hungarian and American organizations. He was especially active in getting Hungarian refugees resettled in the country after the 1956 uprising there. He was at one time a member of the Selective Service Reemployment Board; President of the American Hungarian Catholic Youth Congress; President of the American Magyar Red Cross and Defense Committee. In recent years he served as President of the Board of Directors of the Delray General Hospital and as member of the Financial Committee for the new Southwest Hospital. He was an active and dynamic leader of the Delray Improvement Association. He was one of the founders of the Hungarian Arts Club. He lead a successful campaign to keep the the crown jewels of Hungary in the United States instead of turning them over to Hungary’s Communist government at the end of World War II. For many years he was a member of the Captive Nations Committee, and recently he was to be presented the Captive Nations Eisenhower Proclamation Medal in recognition of his great contributions to further the pursuit of “Freedom and Independence” for all captive nations of the world. He was a long time member of the William Penn Association and served as an illustrious Director of the Board. He had a deep concern for the Scholarship Foundation, of which he was past T reasurer. He was a dedicated priest to his flock with dynamic leadership that stretched out to the four corners of the world. He was loved, respected and admired by all, both as a priest and a friend. He was a great humanitarian. May the Lord grant him eternal rest.
