Father Nicholas Gruner, RIP

Walt is deeply saddened to have received, this morning, the following notice from the Fatima Center.

The Management Team of the Fatima Center sadly announces the death of Father Nicholas Gruner, who passed away suddenly yesterday evening. Father died at his office, working to his last breath on the goals to which he dedicated his 38 years in the priesthood — the promotion of the Message of Fatima, especially the release of the full Third Secret and the Consecration of Russia to Our Lady's Immaculate Heart.

Details concerning the visitation and funeral for Father will be announced in the upcoming days. For now, in your charity, please pray for Father and for his Apostolate, which will continue to seek to bring his life's work to a successful conclusion.

Please visit the Fatima Network website for details and updates.

If you don't know about Father Gruner and his work, have a look at my review of Crucial Truths to Save Your Soul. Reading it is like having a conversation with Father Gruner about what his work has meant and what he has learned over the years. One of my dear Catholic friends told me "I learned things I should have known before, which became perfectly clear to me as I read this book."
