Our Description

Review

"I was very moved by this book. We Marines love our chaplains and the stories of Fr. Kilian Dreiling's courageous and compassionate actions during WWII help explain why. 'Our Padre' is a great tribute to a great American and anyone who reads it will come away with a renewed appreciation for the remarkable work done by our U.S. Military chaplains." - R. Lee Ermey, Host of the History Channel's "Mail Call" program

General Description:

If you ask a child of the 21st century, "who is your hero?", one of the last answers you will hear is, "My parish priest!" This is a sad commentary on our culture, but not surprising given the materialistic themes forwarded by our "mainstream media."

However, for thousands of us privileged to know Fr. Kilian Dreiling, he was our hero; a man who lived and breathed Jesus' commandment to "Love others as I have loved you." As an Army chaplain in WWII, Fr. Kilian repeatedly braved enemy fire in order to offer comfort to dying soldiers in their final hours. After the war, he heard the confessions of Nazi concentration camp guards at Dachau. Later, he would follow through on promises he had made to dying soldiers by visiting their families and retelling the stories about how their loved one faced death. As an anti-communist lecturer, he helped educate a naive American public to the evils and dangers of this Godless and dehumanizing ideology.

Fortunately, Fr. Kilian was also a great storyteller, and he recorded his most memorable and beautiful life experiences on paper. These powerful stories come alive in this inspirational tribute, providing a beacon of hope for us all.
