There are many words that were used to describe father by those who knew him and were touched by his ministry: holy, devoted, prayerful, dedicated, wise. He was one month shy of celebrating his 71st anniversary of priestly ordination. Devoted to the Extraordinary Form of the Church's liturgy, he ministered faithfully to the Lord's flock.
Rest in peace, Fr. Charles, and may your goodness to us be rewarded.

Dear Father, thank you for posting pictures of this Mass. We found out too late to travel from Chicago to give the last farewell to Fr. Schoenbaechler. You keeping his life work alive and well as the pastor at St. Martin.
I would love to see him acclaimed one day among the Church's Saints and Blessed.
