Fr. Bernard Reiser
Pastor; Church of the Epiphany, Coon Rapids MN
1924 - 2011

Portrait by Mark Sanislo

On December 27, 2011, the world lost Father Bernard Reiser.

I could not even begin to do justice to this man here, but would like to provide information for you to not only read about his life,
but to understand the depth at which he touched every person he met.

On a personal note, I had the honor of Fr. Reiser performing our marriage ceremony, (to my lovely bride Barb), back in July of 1998.
After my mom spent time speaking with Fr. Reiser, her initial comment was "He is the Holiest man I have ever met ..."
Without a doubt, that is a perfect description of this incredible man.
