We grew up with Fr. Kastner as our parish priest. He married us, baptized our children, taught us to be gentle, patient and kind. He built a beautiful church for the community in Lebanon and most of all,he lived as an example of faith in Christ Jesus. We will remember him for his love of music and the arts. Rest now friend, in the grace of the Holy Spirit,
