Written ‘Nods

Father Whitman participates in priest chat, a website that opens a new doorway for priests to accompany people warmly and confidentially, especially those like myself who might not feel comfortable visiting a church right away. It’s amazing how technology can become an extension of Christ’s ministry—offering guidance, hope, and prayer anytime someone reaches out.
For Father Whitman, he says this space deepens his mission as a shepherd by bringing God’s love straight into hearts through words typed on screens—and reminds him daily that no one is beyond His mercy or presence. Participating in Priest Chat has gone above and beyond his vocation by doing whatever he can to connect with parishioners. Amazing and has helped me connect.

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.

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

Just want to thank you, Fr. Stanley, for hearing my confession on the feast day of St. Anne. I felt broken and unworthy but you told me to not give up. You told me to get connected on FB. Even now, I only found out about this website through your FB post. I never saw you again after that, but I always remembered that day and you took time to listen. I hope you will always be happy and healthy, doing God’s ministry. Hope you know I always pray a prayer of priests.

Father Sam. Thank you for your weekly sermons. They have my heart and mind thinking and praying. Thank you for making the young parishioners feel that they belong and are members just as much as anyone else. Thank you for following your heart to allow us to be your parishioners.

Years ago, after almost 20 years of Marriage, my husband had family problem that was causing tension between us. We decided to see Fr. Maurice who married us in 1964. After listening to us and what we were experiencing, he calmly told my husband to “take a sharp knife and sever ties with your Mother”. You took marriage vows to cleave from your Mother and Father and become one with you wife. His words made us realize how serious those vows were. We celebrated 60 years of marriage in April. RIP Father Maurice.
