Latest ‘Nods

In 2018 Fr. Grafsky was called on to help by the local Sheriffs Department.  There was an accident and the officer that arrived at the scene was met with two deceased people.  Knowing Father Grafsky due to how closely he worked with the department, the officer called him to help him through the traumatic ordeal. He stayed with the officer at the scene while help arrived providing him both spiritual and literal help. I want to thank Fr. Grafsky for being accessible to the community in more ways than in the church. He is so incredible at guiding people through their grief and keeping their relationship with God strong in times where it can easily waver.

On top of being the Director of DeoQuest, Fr. Remery goes out of his way to keep Catholics around the world connected. I was unable to attend the Youth Jubilee but Fr. Remery did and he posted videos engaging with the crowd, Pope Leo, and the Basilica.  He showed young catholics  lining up to give confession and dancing and cheering in the streets. I would like to extend a ‘nod to Fr. Remery because he made me feel like I was a part of the celebration. His passion and dedication to the vocation and us is so evident in his work and it is important. It uplifted my faith and hope for the future so thank you for making me a part of it!

Fr. Boyle founded Homeboy Industries. It’s an organization that helps the youth of Los Angeles stay out of gang violence. A ‘nod to Father Boyle for answering God’s calling and doing his work by connecting God with troubled teens as well as the thousands of recently incarcerated men who need help getting back on their feet and to their faith.  He is an example that should be followed as he reminds us that no one is truly lost in the eyes of God. Thank you Father Boyle for herding back wandering sheep.
