Uncle, Teacher & Friend | Remembering Fr. Jim Willig, Part 2

Published about 1 month ago • 1 min read

Greetings this Feast of Corpus Christi!

Today's video release is Part II of our interviews remembering Fr. Jim Willig on the 25th anniversary of his birth into eternal life.

We hear from four of Fr. Jim's nephews, three of whom are also his godsons. They recall Fr. Jim as a not only a great preacher of the gospel but also as a wonderful listener and witness to the Cross of Christ.
​
Then, Fr. Dave Lehmkuhl recalls how Fr. Jim helped him through some difficult times during the seminary and supported Fr. Dave's missionary work to Africa.
​
Our feature of the audio book version of Lessons from the School of Suffering, Fr. Jim's chronicle of his journey with cancer, begins this coming Tuesday and will see chapter releases on Tuesdays and Thursdays for the next 5 weeks.

Peace,
Nathaniel
