Msgr. Joseph DeGrocco
Too often we forget to pray for and acknowledge our pastors. Msgr Joe not only gives homilies which are clear and concise but they educate us on the real beliefs of our faith )pulling no punches). He does all this while still having to deal with the bills, the many organizations, the other concerns of the parish AND politely and clearly responding to my never-ending Church questions.

Father Liam McDonald
As a Chaplain of my Pro- Life Org, he always has the words to lead us to good decisions, as we help women in crisis pregnancies. He is also Pastor of St. Therese Lisieux R.C. Church, in beautiful Montauk Pt.
His Parishioners are so lucky to hear his spiritually uplifting sermons.

Father Gregory West
Recently moved south. Father West is a highly intellectual Priest and Pastor, deeply rooted and so committed to his Catholic faith. What Father West has helped to build through the gift of the Holy Spirit at St Claire of Assisi it so spiritually inspiring, it would only take a practicing Catholic attending a single Sunday Mass celebration to witness that there is a “spiritually renewed movement” happening in this parish, one centered on service, prayer, and daily faith-filled living. Daniel Island is quite blessed to have such a leader in Father West, and it permeates throughout the entire parish community.
