The best thing that ever happened during covid for our entire family, Father Dave, was finding you on utube! We praise God often for that early day during covid. Our family members often say how much you have deepened their faith. Thank you and God bless you Father Dave!

I love your Mass Father and I get so much out of it. A few weeks ago you taught us to say " bless him and change me" and I use many times when I start to get angry and my anger disappears ❤. Thank you and bless you Father Dave and the ladies at your church 🙏❤️

Thank you for Dave for another amazing homily. I will recall your words and be reminded to look at my own shortcomings and not point out others instead I’ll pray for them more. Y’all have a great week. Sending pets for Cragley.

I have shared "if you compare, you will despair" with my AA friends as many of us did compare when we came into the program. Thank you, Father Dave.

Thanks again Father Dave for continuing to take time out of your very busy schedule to lead your online flock. Bless you, Jess, Diane and Cragley. Hope his paw is healed.

Dear Fr. Dave! I have always struggled with this parable. It truly is a beautiful one. What an amazing lesson Jesus is teaching us. Along with the Bless them change me prayer, I am constantly giving Jesus my issue with forgiving & moving past. I truly believe I have forgiven, but am struggling with being able to welcome any communication with the people involved. Thank you for stating it may not happen here on Earth but it will in Heaven. Your sermon today was definitely felt in my heart. Please please
Dear Lord Jesus help me to change. AMEN!!
Thank you Fr. Dave, Diane & Jess for bringing us such beautiful Masses. I pray for each of you.✝️🕊️🙏🏻✝️🕊️🙏🏻

Thank you father Dave, your homily really hit home. We pray to strengthen our faith with our children and children’s children. We ask the Lord to hear all of the prayers here. Please continue praying for my 2 yr old grandson who has leukemia and is going through the extensive chemo treatments which are painful. Thank you lord Jesus for giving us this mass on utube with father Dave Diane and Jess and all the staff that help make it possible for us to view. Thank you father Dave for sharing Cragley, we pray for her recovery and the continued recovery of your brother. In Jesus name we pray.

Thank you all for a wonderful service. Thank you Father Dave for the insight in today's Gospel of the Prodigal Son. You've given me a whole different perspective and understanding of this Gospel. And what a great way to think of all this with your learning's, "if you compare you despair" Blessings to all. Trusting that Cragley is slowing improving and will soon be out again chasing the squirrels :)
