Written ‘Nods
Fr. Michael T Casey
I just wanted to thank you for everything you’ve done through campus ministry. College can honestly feel overwhelming and isolating sometimes, and having a priest who actually shows up, listens, and cares about students the way you do makes a huge difference. You’ve created a place where people can ask questions, grow in their faith, and feel like they belong without being judged. Your guidance, your patience, and even just the way you talk to people have helped a lot more students than you probably realize. Thank you for giving your life to this vocation and for being someone students can genuinely look up to.
Fr. Jonathan Raia
Thank you for your faithful “yes” to the priesthood and for the way you pour yourself into the lives of others through your ministry. Your involvement in retreats, spiritual guidance, and marriage preparation has genuinely touched so many people. The care, wisdom, and sincerity you bring to those moments make people feel seen, encouraged, and closer to God. In a world that can feel so rushed and disconnected, your presence and dedication remind us what authentic pastoral care looks like. Thank you for walking with people through some of the most important moments of their lives and for living your vocation with such humility and heart

I just want to say thank you for all the work you do for our parish and for the New Haven Catholic community. It really hasn’t gone unnoticed how much you’ve taken on with the parish merger and keeping everything running across so many churches—it’s a lot, and you handle it with a steady, grounded presence. I also appreciate how present you are pastorally, whether it’s celebrating Mass, being there for families in tough moments, or just helping keep a sense of unity in such a big and changing parish. It’s clear you care deeply about the people here, and that means a lot. Thank you for your leadership and for all the ways you serve the Church so faithfully.
