Written ‘Nods

Fr. Anthony Smith

Father Smith would listen to my heartache and confusion when I lost my husband five years ago. He would sit with me as I confessed my anger and frustration and helped me through it. Not once did he ever make me feel judged but he reminded me of God’s love and when I lost some of my faith, he helped restore it by his guidance. I will forever grieve but I have no more anger. Thank you Father Smith.

Fr. Peter Pilsner

Besides being a full-time teacher in the Bronx, Father Peter goes home every night to make sure his parents are cared for. Meg M

Fr. Zelker

I just wanted to reach out and say thank you—for everything you do, but especially for the work you’ve done with those in assisted living. It’s not just the Masses you celebrate or the sacraments you bring; it’s the love, care, and presence you give to people who really need it. That kind of ministry doesn’t just happen—it takes a priest with a big heart, and we’re so lucky to have you. It’s priests like you who remind all of us what faith really looks like in action. You make people feel seen, valued, and loved, and that leaves a mark that lasts far longer than a Sunday service. Thank you for going the extra mile, for showing up, and for living your vocation in a way that inspires all of us to be better, kinder, and more present in our own lives.
