Fr. Mark Weidner, Hermit: 1926-2018

Our beloved brother, Fr. Mark, was found dead this morning, lying peacefully in bed with his hands clutched tight around a small crucifix.  Fr. Mark spent the majority of his monastic vocation as a hermit living either in a trailer or  the cabin.  Though his physical heart’s health was unstable for many years, his spiritual heart was pure light.  Fr. Mark was a very, very beautiful and holy man who loved Jesus and us profoundly.

We deeply appreciate your prayers for our deceased brother.  May he be with our blessed Lord, His great saint in heaven, forever.
