I will continue to pray for Monsignor. He is a truly great man who has never been properly recognized for all the good he has done. He is a gentle, courageous, intelligent, talented, generous, happy, parish priest who has done great things for the Church and the Lord. God be with him.
He’s on my prayer list, along with you, Father.
Most certainly. Ss. Cecilia Agnesque, orate pro eo.
I am grateful to have met Monsignor Schuler, as he was instrumental in my conversion, as was the liturgy in his parish. St. Agnes has been good to me, as well. Many more prayers for Monsignor Schuler will be forthcoming.

Prayer for Priests who are Sick
(Bishop Waters)
O Sweet Jesus, Eternal High Priest,
look favorably upon Thy priest Father(…)
whom sickness has cast upon a bed of pain.
Draw near to him, lay Thy hand upon him, and heal him by Thy Almighty power.
Restore him to health and vigor so that praising Thee he may be able to continue to labor in promoting Thy greater honor and glory and the salvation of souls.
Amen.
Imprimatur:
Most Rev. Vincent S. Waters, D.D.

I heard Monsignor had a setback last week. He’s been on my prayer
list for some time. Though, I have never met him, I am able to experience the fruits of his holy life of labor to keep the Faith alive during the dark years.
Without him, I don’t think this Archdiocese would have any orthodoxy
or sacred music left. I’m not sure the church throughout the world would either.
May God Bless Monsignor Schuler.
When things in the Church have looked particularly negative, it was always a high spot to be able to sing Vespers with Monsignor on Sundays.
Usually one or several seminarians were there too. Monsignor used to say that the frequent public adoration of the Eucharist at Vespers and Benediction at St. Agnes was one of the biggest reasons for so many vocations coming from his parish.
It has truly been a blessing to know such a good and holy priest.
Msgr. Schuler was an exemplary pastor! What the Catholic Church could accomplish in the world if all of her sons so perfectly loved her children. He was a loving, jovial and devoted father. As one of his many spiritual daughters, I can say he restored my Faith, guarded my Hope, and enlivened my Charity. The gifts which he gave us were too many to list. Each one was a complete study in fatherly love. Not the least of these gifts was the Novus Ordo Mass at St. Agnes. I miss him terribly. May God grant him eternal rest and perpetual light shine upon him. Amen
