CHRISTOPHER RENGERS

The World is the way it is because we need MORE Fr.Christophers,OFM

Rengers Family,

I echo the previous entry about Fr. Christopher. I met him also late in his life and after a divorce and difficulty connecting with children, Fr. Christopher offered much thoughtfulness, kindness, wisdom and compassion. He was a wise and holy priest not forgotten. I know he prays for all of my intentions in a heaven. Thank you, Fr. Christopher.

Rengers Family,

I was not able to make Fr. Christopher's funeral but I remember the many times late in his life, he took the time to meet with me and call me about my divorce and offered wisdom, hope and compassion. He is missed but I believe he now prays for us! Thanks Fr. Christopher! He was a holy priest!

Fr. Christopher was a very holy man.He should be considered for Sainthood.

And did the Countenance Divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among these dark Satanic Mills? (William Blake)

Even though I met him a few times when I was a boy, I did not really know Fr. Christopher, a cousin to my father. Learning about his lifetime accomplishments I am proud of him. I know my grandmother in Pittsburgh was proud to have him as a nephew.

Our deepest sympathy to all the friars of the Province of St. Augustine. We'll keep all of you and Fr. Christopher's family in our prayers.

I would so much like to thank Father Christopher for all he did in this life. Thank you for sharing a beautiful obituary of his life here. It is wonderful to read of his accomplishments for the unborn. Blessings.

This wonderful, blessed, spiritually gifted man touched many lives deeply. To is family and order, thank you for sharing him with all of us.

Dear Gerry and family this is Amanda Helen, please if you remember send me one of Father Christopher's funeral cards, What I remember most about him was when my dad died and he came in from D. C. and convinced the pastor of Saint Catherine's up in Beechview to open up his church so he could say a mass for his cousin. That was quite a going out for my dad with his cousin the priest saying a mass and you and Uncle Cylde being his pallbearers at the mass. And once again even though he was old and frail he came in again for Uncle Clyde and gave a wonderful service at the funeral home. I am sure he is glad to be reunited with so many of his family memebers now. I am sure many will miss all that he did for so many.
Sincerely, Amanda Helen Rengers Heckel

Gerard,

Sincerest sympathy to you on the passing of your brother, Father Chris. He truly was a spiritual and devout servant of God. May he continue to watch over and pray for us in heaven as he did for us on earth.
