Written ‘Nods

Fr. Martin Fisher

My Nod to Father Marty was inspired by reading his recently published meditation book, entitled Camino Grace. The book provides 11 days of commentary, including poetry. The presented messages are worthy of meditation.

Thank you, Father Marty, for your efforts in writing this document.

Fr. Chris Fraser

A ‘Nod to Father Chris Fraser for his dedicated work with the prison ministry, especially in 2023 when he visited Kingman Correctional Facility to offer sacraments for the prisoners. After the challenges of Covid, the prison had not seen a priest on its grounds in three years.  Father Fraser shared how deeply moved he was by the prisoners’ desire to receive the sacraments. While volunteers had faithfully prayed with them, they were unable to provide confession—such an essential sacrament for those seeking repentance and healing.  Father Fraser’s service reminds us that even in the darkest and most isolating places, God never abandons us. Through his ministry, he helps prisoners find their way back to the Lord.

Bishop Douglas Lucia

Bishop Lucia is known for being a true wearer of many hats. He serves the Lord in every way he can, willingly taking on any role asked of him—even when it means carrying multiple responsibilities at once.  I want to recognize Bishop Lucia for preaching the importance of pastoral care and for the attention he gives to the wellbeing of priests. His humility and sacrifice, shown by taking on multiple roles, allows younger priests the time and space to grow before taking on more responsibilities themselves. By his leadership, he demonstrates how important it is for clergy to remain accessible to parishioners. His example of building a strong, inclusive community will ensure the future of the Diocese. Thank you, Bishop Lucia.
