" I have fought the good fight I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. From now on there is reserved for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give me on that day, and not only to me but also to all who have longed for his appearing.” Saint Paul letter to Timothy.

Today at 11 a.m. a requiem mass was held for Father Antal in Szászváros where he spent the last 12 years of his life. The holy mass was celebrated by Dr Jakubinyi György archbishop of Transylvania , the commemoration of his life was beautifully presented by Father Bernardin . Many members of the clergy were present all who held him in high esteem even from Hungary. One’s feelings , emotions were stirred as Father Antal by the example of his life touched many of us. His love for his Creator, our Lady, his people ,  his country , nature signified his life . He did a lot for the young people of Transylvania . The most influential people in his life apart from God, our blessed Lady , were the great bishop Márton Áron and Father Csaba. He was a man who thought of others , though he had a very difficult life there was no bitterness in him ,even though all this took a terrible toll on his health ,but never diminished his gist for life he was always full of plans that he tried hard to bring to fruition. What is certain he was a man whose memory will live on in our hearts . His funeral will be held tomorrow his mortal remains will return to his hometown Küküllőfalva .

May God grant him eternal rest .
