Rev. William R. Krizner

He was an outstanding man

I was heartbroken when I recently stumbled upon this obituary of Father Bill Krizner. I had not been in touch with him in many years but he has always remained in my thoughts. He made such an important impact on my life years ago when I went through a difficult time and it still resonates with me today. He was kind, funny, honest, truly caring and devoted to sharing God's word in a way that could make the worst skeptic listen and reconsider. He deepened my faith and I am eternally...

I am saddened to just hear of Father Krizner´s passing. I was not a member of his parish, but I have gone several times when I was in the area and really enjoyed his homilies. He certainly had a gift of delivering the appropriate message every time that always was so reassuring. He was always my favorite. The parishioners at St. Collette were very blessed to have him as their priest. I know that he is in heaven watching over & blessing all of us. He will be sadly missed, but never forgotten.

I thank God every day for bringing Father Krizner into my life and the lives of all parishioners of St. Colette church. I hope that I am a better person because of him. I will miss him forever, and I only wish that I could hear his soothing gentle voice one more time. I pray that God will welcome Fr. Bill into His arms and give him eternal peace. We love you, Fr. Krizner, so very much. Thank you for being you.

Father Krizner was a joy to be around during my time at Holy Name. My husband and I also had the distinct honor and privilege of being married by him. Peace and prayers to his family. Rest In Peace

Thank you for your wonderful inspiring homilies which was the reason I joined Saint Colette´s. You took the readings each week and made them come alive as you fit them into daily life. I loved how every now and then during your homily you would say "you see" making me feel like you were just talking to me. I can´t express how much you will be missed by not only me but by many. You grew the church to what it is today and I am grateful you were my parish priest and pastor. Peace to you...

Thank you for the all-School Masses and daily Masses in the Holy Name chapel that you said for the students and teachers, and for a lifetime of service to Jesus, His Mother and our student community. Blessed Repose and Eternal Memory!
