Fr. Lawrence Symolon
I am incredibly grateful for your many years of faithful service to the pro-life mission, especially through your leadership and involvement with Respect Life ministries in the Archdiocese of Hartford. Your work in organizing, supporting, and speaking at Respect Life conferences, as well as guiding parish pro-life committees, has helped educate, strengthen, and mobilize so many people to stand up for the unborn and for mothers in need. Because of your courage and consistency, countless families have found hope, support, and life-affirming help in moments of fear and uncertainty. The babies saved, the hearts changed, and the faith strengthened through your efforts are blessings that can never truly be measured. Thank you for giving so much of your time, energy, and heart to defending life and for being a steady, compassionate witness to the dignity of every human person.
A grateful mother

Fr. Valentine Rebello
I’d like to place a nod to Father Valentine Rebello pastor of St Pius X in Plainview, NY . Father Valentine came into the life of the Hall family this year and has brought both comfort and support to our family through the very difficult journey of my husband‘s illness and passing. . Hospital visits and visits bringing communion to Jim when he could no longer attend Mass brought both peace to Jim and us. His dedication to his parish, being the sole celebrant of Masses during the week and weekends while balancing the spiritual and functional needs of the parish epitomizes his faith and commitment to community Fr Valentine we’d like it known and I’m sure many other parishioners of St Pius, as well that all you do is very much appreciated!

I’ve followed your content for a while now, and I felt called to reach out and let you know how much it truly means to me. It’s not always easy being a young man trying to live out the faith in today’s world, and seeing a priest who’s real, relatable, and unafraid to talk about God in a modern way makes a huge difference. Your videos have helped me think more deeply about my faith, about prayer, and about what it actually looks like to follow Christ day to day. You make the Church feel accessible, not distant, and that’s powerful. Thank you for showing up online with joy, honesty, and conviction — it truly helps me and so many others stay grounded, encouraged, and proud of our Catholic faith.
