Celestine Kapsner

Celestine Kapsner

Reverend Father Celestine Kapsner O.S.B., was a Catholic priest and exorcist who was stationed at St. John's Abbey at Collegeville, Minnesota, in the early 1960's.

Among Father Kapsner's other duties and activities, he was in charge of the garden. Kapsner was also known to have taken part in exorcisms. He translated a 1928 account of an exorcism by Father Theophilus Riesinger from a German magazine article, and published it, in 1935, in pamphlet form as "Begone Satan!".

This pamphlet was important because it brought a detailed account of an American exorcism to a large audience for the first time in the United States.
