Continuum FALL 2019 1 Remembering Cistercian with a Planned Gift

Patrick A. Schnitzius

A Wonderful Legacy Patrick A. Schnitzius was so happy when the Hungarian monks came to town. He was even happier when they were able to build the Abbey Church since he had attended Mass with the monks for many years. He prayed fervently for the monks in the hopes that younger men would come forward to be a part of the Abbey. He would often speak of the young men who were becoming novices, brothers, and priests. He attended Mass at the Abbey regularly, always taking his seat in the sixth row at the end of the pew, and so it was no surprise when he prepared his estate planning documents to ensure that upon his passing, there would be funds available to support the Cistercian Abbey for the continued care of the monks and the formation of future young men. Pat died January 18, 2019, but his memory will live on in the legacy he left behind.
