I have received the news of the passing of Deacon William Steltemeier, who was the founding president and chairman of the well known Catholic media network, EWTN (Eternal Word Television Network), whose work with Mother Angelica who founded EWTN, had made EWTN what it is today, reaching out to many with their daily broadcasts and programs.

May God receive him back in His embrace, and open the gates of heaven for him to enter. Requiescat in Pace, Rest in Peace, Deacon William, and pray for all of us!

The full Mass of the Funeral of Deacon William Steltemeier can be viewed in the above YouTube video link, by EWTN. A very beautiful Mass and angelic hymns. Parts of the Mass in Latin, and overall a very emotional tribute to Deacon William. Let us keep him always in our prayers.
