In Memory Of
Fr. Frank Krische
Fr. Frank Krische
Fr. Frank Krische, 79, of Topeka died January 12, 2011. He was born December 23, 1931 the son of Frank Anthony and Pauline Marie Krische.
Fr. Frank was baptized December 28, 1931 at St. Joseph's Church, Topeka. He attended St. Joseph Grade School from 1937 – 1945, High School at the Pontifical College Josephinum in Columbus Ohio 1945 – 1949, St Benedict's College, Atchison, KS 1949 – 1953 and the Immaculate Conception Seminary in Conception, MO 1953 – 1957.
Fr. Frank was ordained a Priest of God on April 6, 1957 at St. Peter's Cathedral, Kansas City, KS by Archbishop Edward J. Hunkeler. He served as associate Pastor at Blessed Sacrament Parish, St. Mary's Church, and St. John the Evangelist Church in Kansas City, as well as St. Agnes Church in Shawnee Mission, KS.
He was Pastor at St. Michael's, Wheaton, KS; St. Vincent De Paul, Onaga, KS; St. Columbkille, Blaine, KS; St. Bernard's, Wamego, KS; Holy Name, Kansas City, KS and Blessed Sacrament, Kansas City. He was the Pastor of Most Pure Heart of Mary Church in Topeka from July 1983 – June 30, 2007 at which time he retired.
In retirement Fr. Frank enjoyed helping out his brother priests throughout the city by celebrating Mass, confessions, baptisms and ministering to the sick. He loved being "un-tired" instead of "re-tired" and it was obvious in his smile, humor and jokes.
Fr. Frank is survived by four brothers, Jim (Marilyn) Krische of Chicago, Msgr. Vincent Krische of Lawrence, Larry (Sue) Krische and Bob (Lynne) Krische all of Topeka, two sisters Joan (Don G.) Boos and Lois (Tom) Phillips all of Olathe.
