I love this comment from the blog
"Each month, Fr. Todd would make the long trip to Sioux Falls to celebrate children's adoration. He wore the most elaborate vestments he could find. He asked the children to get on the floor into a ball and "Make yourselves small, so that Jesus can grow bigger in you." He always had the children recite the Prayer of St. Gertrude the Great and told them, "1,000 souls will be released from Purgatory and they will pray for you when they get to Heaven." At intention time, he allowed every last child to come within a few feet of the Blessed Sacrament. He would say, "Don't tell me; I'm not Jesus! Go right up close, look straight at him, and tell him your intention!" One time he burned so much incense that the smoke detector went off and the fire department showed up! He wanted to promote children's adoration in the diocese, so he once asked that photos be taken at holy hour; these were posted in the Bishop's Bulletin.

Fr. Justin Wachs will have a Children's Holy Hour offered for the soul of Fr. Todd Reitmeyer at Our Lady of Guadalupe on Thursday, June 1 at 6:00 PM"


Wow, its sad to lose any Priest but to lose one with this dedication to the Euchurist and spreading the LOve of Christ. Well I guess its God's mysterious plan
