Prayer Vigil in the American Shrines for Fr. Jonathan Niehaus

USA, Marge Fenelon. The SchoenstattMovement in Milwaukee is organizing a Eucharistic Vigil to be held in the Shrines throughout the country during the funeral and burial of Fr. Jonathan  Niehaus (Monday, January 23) so that those who cannot attend the funeral may still accompany Fr. Jonathan and the Niehaus Family spiritually.

 

 

 

In the Exile Shrine, the vigil will take place from 6am-3pm (the requiem Mass will take place at 7am Milwaukee time).

The vigil at the International Schoenstatt Center will begin with 7am Mass in the Sisters Province House, with the vigil following in the International Shrine of the Marian Father Kingdom until 3pm.

There will be a Mass of Thanksgiving for Fr. Jonathan’s life at the Schoenstatt Center in Austin, Texas on Sunday, February 12 at 11am CST.

    I love Father Jonathan. He was a great minister to me while I knew him in San Marcos. Please, pray for me Father Jonathan! I am entering seminary and helping the youth with retreats. Thanks and God bless you!

    I will truly miss Fr. Jonathan. I know his powerful prayers will be ever for his Schoenstatt families and their intentions as well
    as praying for his fellow priests. I know there will be a burst of new priests to Schoenstatt because of his sacrifices.
