Msgr Dr Anthony Barratt

I just gotta say—thank you. Really. For being the kind of priest who shows up, who talks to people like they matter, and who makes this parish feel like more than just a building. You’ve got this way of making faith real—through your homilies, and just how you carry yourself. People notice, believe me.  It’s not just about Sunday Mass; it’s how you teach, and how you guide folks through the tricky stuff in life and in faith. You make the Church feel alive and human, and that’s no small thing. So thank you for being there, for listening, for teaching, and for just…being you. You make a difference in a way that sticks with people long after they leave the pews.

I wanted to thank you for A Note from the Pastor and for the way your leadership and involvement have clearly made an impact at Maria Regina and in the wider community. Even from the outside, it’s easy to see how present and engaged you are — your reflections are thoughtful and accessible, and your commitment to parish life, outreach, and service beyond the church walls really stands out. So often people hear about the good being done long before they experience it firsthand, and your work is spoken of in that way. Thank you for the care, energy, and consistency you bring to your ministry.
