A Report Written by Fr. Pancratius Pfeiffer SDS
Beloved Confreres in Christ
What we feared and what we did not want to believe has happened It has pleased the dear God to call to himself our Venerable Father and Founder. On September 8, the feast of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary, he entered eternal life at 8:00 p.m. well prepared through his life of virtue and sacrifice and the reception of the sacrament of Anointing.
We are still so shaken with the shattering impressions of this happening, that it is difficult to put on paper a detailed account of our beloved deceased. For now, however, it will suffice to briefly review the events of his last days, so that we may realize what we have lost with our Venerable Father and what lessons we can draw for ourselves from it. “Audi, fili mi, disciplinam patris tui,” [Hear, my child, your father’s teaching] (Prov. 1:8).
