Dear Reader:

Father Steichen passed away February 1, 2022. As far as I know, he was in his 80’s? Father served Sacred Heart Chapel in Apple Valley, CA. a private chapel. A Traditional Catholic friend of mine introduced him to me about 30 years ago. He became disenchanted with the changes brought about by the Council and went Independent. Believe it or not, he told me, that he used to go on walks with pope John XXIII. Like most priests, he had a hard time in believing that these popes were the AntiChrist’s of the Bible. Since I was involved in preaching the Second coming of Christ, I made sure that I made the rounds to all the Traditional chapels, churches I could get to. I bring this up because this is what brought us back together again.
