YOUR Latest ‘Nods
Father Francis Veraqua
Father Veraqua reminds us each and every week that “The sun will come out tomorrow”. He provides insight and meaning to each gospel reading in a straight forward and positive fashion. He often accompanies each homily with everyday examples of how we can “live” the gospel or be a disciple for others. Father will use examples of his own upbringing, often in a humorous way, to accentuate the cornerstones of our faith such as giving, love, and forgiveness. He brings hope into a troubled world for which I am forever grateful!

Fr. Will Wuenschel is a devoted, humble St. Aidan Parish Pastor in Wexford, PA. He loves Jesus, celebrating sacraments, preaching, leading and being with us. He opens my eyes to the light of Christ in new ways.

Fr. Stanley Antoni
Just want to thank you, Fr. Stanley, for hearing my confession on the feast day of St. Anne. I felt broken and unworthy but you told me to not give up. You told me to get connected on FB. Even now, I only found out about this website through your FB post. I never saw you again after that, but I always remembered that day and you took time to listen. I hope you will always be happy and healthy, doing God’s ministry. Hope you know I always pray a prayer of priests.
