Celebrating Fr. John Strittmatter, SCJ: 70 Years of Religious Life

On Saturday, September 8, Fr. John Strittmatter, SCJ, celebrated his 70th anniversary of religious life. Originally from Pennsylvania, Fr. John has spent most of those years as a missionary in South Africa. “I don’t even think that I have a US passport anymore,” said the SCJ priest when he retired in 2012. For him, South Africa is home. But even though he has not been back to the US in many years, Fr. John is well-remembered by his SCJ brothers. A few of them – with the help of Br. Andy Gancarczyk, SCJ – recorded a video greeting for his jubilee. Click here or on the image above to view it.
 
Happy anniversary Fr. John and thank you for your many, MANY years of religious life and ministry!
