Indiana priest reported missing in Greece

Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS – A Roman Catholic priest from Indiana who has been studying in Greece hasn’t been heard from since he said he feared for his life earlier this week, family members said.
The Rev. Christiaan Kappes, 36, told his family Monday that he might be in danger from his translator’s relatives, said Kappes’ sister, Nadia Charcap of Franklin, about 20 miles south of Indianapolis.
“He said, ‘If you don’t hear from me in 12 to 24 hours then I’m gone, I’m dead,’ ” Charcap told The Indianapolis Star for a Thursday report.
She said her brother was trying to make it back to the United States, but appears not to have boarded a plane in Athens.
 
Praying very hard for the Fr Kappes and his family.

Please post any news on this thread so we all know the outcome. Please God, let it be a happy one.
 
O God, have mercy on Your priest, Father Kappes, and send forth Your holy angels to watch and protect him. Deliver him safely from all harm, that he may continue to serve You and Your children in this world, bringing Truth to all he meets. I ask this through Christ, Our Lord. Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee! Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
