Fr. van der Peet's reflections
My sunset has come, but this same sun has risen for me in Jesus, Splendor of the Father and will never set again. In this radiance I hope to meet all my loved ones again without ever having to say “Good-bye.” In His light we will see light.

What
made this experience unique was that we did more than simply talk about the
merits of a classical curriculum, we experienced them for ourselves, first
hand.... I am writing to thank you for putting together a wonderful and
carefully thoughtout conference. It provided a much-needed respite from the
stress and chaos of becoming assistant principal at a new high school.

Fr. Michael van der Peet, R.I.P.
The Sacred Heart School of Theology community mourns the passing of Fr. Michael van der Peet, SCJ. He died on April 21, 2010. He was 85.Fr. Michael professed vows in 1946, was ordained in 1953, and shortly after ordination came to the United States to work with the SCJ U.S. Province, which was in need of seminary instructors. In 1970 he began full-time retreat ministry, and became a popular retreat director, especially with women's religious communities.
It was during a brief vacation to Rome in 1975 that he met Mother Theresa. They continued to have a close relationship until her death in 1997. Their friendship included regular correspondence, and retreats given to Mother Teresa's Sisters of Charity. And it was because of that friendship that Fr. Michael was asked to go to Rome in 2002 to work on the commission that prepared Mother Teresa's cause for beatification. In 1999, at the age of 74, Fr. Michael went back to work, serving as a spiritual director at Sacred Heart School of Theology. He remained active in spiritual direction until he suffered a stroke in February, 2010.Visitation will be Tuesday, April 27 at 7:00 p.m, and the Mass of the Christian Burial will be Wednesday, April 28, 2010 at 11 a.m. Both will be held at Sacred Heart, 7335 S. Highway 100, Franklin, Wis. More information about Fr. Michael's life and funeral arrangements can be found at the Priests of Sacred Heart website.
