RIP – Our Dear Fr. Huber

Rest in Peace, Requiescat in Pace
Fr. Lawrence Huber

Please pray for the repose of the soul of our cherished priest, Fr. Larry Huber, who passed away Thursday, April 9th. He is remembered for his solid guidance and courageous leadership in his parishes and to Catholics at large.

He knew, first and foremost, the crucial need for strong Catholic men to assume the role of head of household in their families. He made this his life’s work, establishing the Community of Transcendent Men for the formation of men, young and old to become true leaders. He will be missed by those he mentored and by all the parishioners
whom he served.

Details about funeral arrangements to follow.

Donald “Don” Henry Niesse Obituary

Donald “Don” Henry Niesse, passed away at the age of 92 and one half, on September 21, 2021 at St. Luke’s Hospital, St. Louis, Missouri.

Don was a faithful Roman Catholic of both Our Lady of the Presentation and All Souls Parishes, St. Louis, MO, and he was an original and longtime faithful member of CREDO of the Catholic Laity in St. Louis.

Don was blessed as he died with the comfort of loved ones by his side and attending to him in his last days and up to his last moment on God’s earth. Don had a wonderfully holy death; dying as he lived, being fortified with the Sacraments of Holy Mother Church and an Apostolic Blessing and wearing his Brown Scapular of Our Lady of Mount Carmel on his last day.

Funeral Announcement-Loretta Brandt

Dear CREDO of the Catholic Laity Friends,

It is with great sadness, I tell you Howard Brandt, one of CREDO’s founder’s, has just lost his dear wife, Loretta. Loretta passed on Monday, August 9, 2021. Loretta, along with her dear husband, Howard, was a cornerstone of CREDO. We have now been able to gather good information to forward to you.

From its inception in 1995, until the last 6 years – as long as she was able – Loretta, working tirelessly, helped the CREDO Board with each and every CREDO newsletter and CREDO event with meticulous detail and perseverance. Loretta most lovingly hand printed the nametags for all CREDO events and often helped welcome CREDO guests!

One of their main goals was to have the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM) liturgy be brought back to life in our St. Louis Archdiocese and even taking hold at the Holy Family Log Church in their Belleville Diocese as well. Loretta often directed others to the TLM, as far back as 1985 at St. Agatha’s! She lived to see her work come to fruition in a miraculous way.

Loretta was a joy to those around her, if only through her kindly demeanor, even during her last days on earth. Requiescat in pace, our dear Loretta!

Visitation is at Assumption Catholic Church, 4725 Mattis Rd., St. Louis 63128 on Friday, from 10 until the Holy Mass at 11 a.m. Interment will follow at Mt Caramel Cemetery, Bellville, 12:30. In lieu of flowers donations to the Alzheimer’s Assn. appreciated. Funeral services are being provided by Kutis South County.

N.B.: It is our understanding Loretta’s Holy Mass offered will be in the Novus Ordo form.
