The Pope’s best wishes for the 110th anniversary
Last February 26, on the occasion of his 110th birthday, Don Bruno Kant received the best wishes of Pope Leo XIV. In that message, the Pontiff thanked him for his long priestly ministry and for the service he has carried out over the years in favor of the Church.
The memory of the parish community
“With the passing of Don Bruno Kant – commented the current parish priest of Eichenzell-Löschenrod, Guido Pasenow – our parish community loses a person who for many years represented its heart. Even after he retired from active ministry, he remained for many faithful an esteemed interlocutor, a pastoral assistant and a spiritual companion”.
