My husband, Craig Schmitz, had a massive heart attack July 24, 2019. Our new MQ Assistant Pastor, Father Aldrin came to the hospital twice that night, and at last he was able to anoint him. I’ll always be grateful.
Katie Terhune Our son, Evan, was preparing to leave for Cuba for a year with the National Guard. Fr. Aldrin came to our home to see Evan and pray with him before he left. We will always remember Fr. Aldrin for his kindness and compassion.
Cara Johnson A memorial personal tour of with the Mary Widow’s group to St. Meinrad’s on October 8, 2019. We had a great time learning of his experiences while he was a seminarian there.

Marty Terhune Fr Aldrin enjoying his first time on a jet ski at our lake house. He was a natural! Fr Aldrin is one of our all time favorite Priests because of his pure love for Christ. He truly cares for each of us. He has been a wonderful blessing in my life.
Myra DeLuca Our 13yo son was scheduled for major neurosurgery in April 2020 due to complications from a birth defect. I called the rectory to schedule an anointing of the sick. After speaking to Fr Aldrin, he got in his car and was at our house within the hour. We were so grateful to him for stopping his day and making us a priority. His presence and prayers were very soothing. Our family has also had an appreciation for his beautiful vestments. One of my teens once said “Father Aldrin’s robe game is strong “😂. I have to agree! You will be missed, and the DeLucas will be coming for a visit
Cara Johnson I will never forget your first Easter Vigil Mass at Mary Queen. COVID had just affected everyone with shut-downs less than a month prior. There were only a handful of us celebrating mass in the church this night. May you always remember the old green carpet of MQ! I will miss you more than that carpet when you move onto St. Luke's.
Judy Cornett During COVID I was going to start taking communion to the home bound. I had just bought my pix at Benedictus and was leaving. Father Aldrin was coming into the store and I asked him to bless it. He did it right out in the parking lot!
