REVEREND JOSEPH J. S.T.L. KLEPPNER Ph.D.

I could write paragraphs of commendation for his friendship and support of myself and the late Father Adrian van Kaam when we began our mission and ministry under the auspices of the Epiphany Association. Not only had Father Kleppner studied with us in the field of formative spirituality at Duquesne University; he also served as a member of the Corporation Board of Epiphany and was always there to give us his expert advice on our to-be-published books. May God hold him now and forever in the palm of His hand. God bless you, Father Joe.
Your friend, Dr. Susan Muto

An outstanding and generous Priest who I had the opportunity to know and work with during my time at the Slippery Rock University Newman Center. May you rest in peace with our Lord.

Remember when Father Joe was ordained.
Attended St Charles And MVCH at the same time he did.
RIP

Father,

Thank you for responding to God's call for your vocation. May your memory be eternal. Please pray for me as I pray for you.

On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Epiphany Association, we thank God for allowing us to know Fr. Joseph Kleppner. His help in the early years of the Association will never be forgotten, and his friendship will remain one of the treasures of our life--all in the Lord, Dr. Susan Muto, Dean, Epiphany Academy of Formative Spirituality
