Martin Rath

When we were with Father Martin, we felt closer to God. Father Martin led by example, in his own caring, kind and gentile way. He cared deeply about others and dedicated his life to helping so many people who were so much in need of help.
When called upon, he was always there , without hesitation, carrying out God's work.
Truly a wonderful man of God.......
And Father Martin will be missed by those many people whose lives he touched.

Our uncle was always respectful of everyone, kind in nature, and a ready smile. Great fan of Viking football and many Sundays had a meal prepared by my mother Hazel and watched game with his brother Charlie. Will always remember him saying "everyone needs a little sympathy." I try and live by his words. I know there is a great reunion in heaven with all 12 family members, family and friends. He will be missed by many. God bless his spirit.

I remember first meeting "the Rath of God" when he was postmaster in Collegeville and I worked across the hall from him. But Rath was only a name--he was kind, funny, soft spoken, with a lovely soul and a ready smile.

I remember his beautiful smile when I was there in July with Kathie .Sorry for your loss Jeanne
