P. Peter Michael SVD
† 15.XII.2016

Fr. Felmar Fiel, SVD - 06.XII.2014
Fr.
Peter Michael, SVD was born in Schiefbahn, Aachen in Germany on
October 1, 1912. His parents, Heinrich Heintges and Elizabeth
Orth, had 5 children, two of whom became SVD missionaries, one
to China and another (Peter) first to the U.S. and eventually to
the Philippines.
He started his formation in the SVD Minor Seminary at St.
Joseph, Geilenkirchen at the age of 14, staying there for six
years before he underwent two years of novitiate, first at St.
Augustine in Germany and then at Marienburg in Switzerland where
he started to do philosophy. He made his first vows in 1936 and
continued philosophy at St. Gabriel’s in Austria. On October 1,
1937 he arrived by boat in the USA, where he pursued his
theological studies. He pronounced his perpetual vows in 1939
and was ordained priest in 1940. He taught Greek, German and
Religion at Epworth in 1941-42 and in Techny in 1942-44. In 1944
he was assigned prefect of the Juniorate while continuing to
teach Latin, Greek and American History. He became an American
citizen in 1947. Ten years later, in 1957, his request for
transfer to the Philippines bore fruit.
He initially stayed at St. Paul’s College in Tacloban before
he got permanently assigned at the Christ the King Mission
Seminary (CKMS) in Quezon City in 1958. He practically stayed at
this assignment for the rest of his missionary life, except for
a 10-year period when he helped the Northern Mission, as a
professor at the Mary Help of Christians Archdiocesan Seminary
in Binmaley, Pangasinan (1971-76) and as the Chaplain of the
Adoration Convent while a resident of the Divine Word Retreat
House in Baguio City (1977-81). He resumed his work at CKMS in
1981, as the chaplain at the Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital
(1981-1990), the Associate Director of the Arnold Janssen
Secretariat (1990-97), and always as a confessor and teacher of
Latin and Religion to the SVD seminarians.
Fr. Peter Michael was greatly instrumental in spreading the
devotion to St. Arnold Janssen in the country, having produced a
number of popular books and other materials, including several
spiritual works of his own. A person of spiritual depth and
humility, the well-loved priest who was an indefatigable
professor, confessor, hospital chaplain, and spiritual writer,
retired at the Villa Cristo Rey in 2007, where he stayed until
the Lord took him at 12:30 a.m. of December 15, 2016,
practically the oldest confrere globally at 104 years old. Her
love for Our Lady, whom he had always wanted to meet, must have
made his transition to the next life a personally joyful
occasion for him which became his mission for the rest of his
missionary years. He died at 12:30 a.m. of December 15, 2016,
the oldest confrere at 104 years old. At CKMS he did several
missions: spiritual director of the brothers, chaplain of the
pink sisters, teacher of Latin and Religion, also, Assistant
Parish Priest, Sacred Heart Parish in Kamuning, QC (1969-70).

The great desire to become a priest has always been as his plan

Dear Friends,
It is with great sadness that I inform you of the passing
of
Brother Maurice Taylor SVD. Maurice’s health had been
deteriorating over the past months. He has been very frail for
some time now.
Maurice was admitted to the Royal North Shore Hospital on
Saturday morning, 12th March with extremely low blood pressure
and low body temperature.
His condition that night was considered to be stable but he was
going to stay in the hospital for a few days for observation.
Br Maurice passed away quietly and at peace on Sunday morning,
13th March 2016. On Saturday afternoon Maurice talked about
being at peace. This is a great comfort to those of us who love
him dearly.
I ask you to please remember Maurice and his grieving family,
friends and confreres in your prayers. May he rest in peace.
Br Maurice will be farewelled from A.J. Chapel, 199 Epping Rd,
Marsfield at 11.00am on Friday, 18th March, 2016. Following the
Requiem Mass the cortege will move to Macquarie Park Cemetery.
Yours in Divine Word
