Remembering Former Limburg Diocese Bishop Kamphaus

A key figure in our parish's history

It is with great sadness that we share this post about the passing of Franz Kamphaus, Bishop Emeritus of the Diocese of Limburg, on Oct. 28, 2024, at the age of 92. Bishop Kamphaus was instrumental in the establishment of St. Leonhard’s International English-Speaking Parish in 1995, and for that we are eternally grateful.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him and may his soul rest in peace.

Here is the link to the Diocese of Limburg's German-language obituary for Bishop Kamhaus.

The Requiem Mass will take place at St. George's Cathedral in Limburg at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 5, 2024. The service will be livestreamed on the diocese's Youtube channel.
