Father Mark Beard died on August 2nd, 2023 in an automobile. This is one of his most profound talks it's worth listening to over and over again.

Eternal Rest grant unto him o Lord and let your perpetual light sign upon him. May his soul and the souls of the faithful departed rest in peace

I just started listening to Fr. Mark. Breaks my heart to know he has recently passed. I will pray for him and ask he pray for me. Thank you Lord for the gift of Fr. Mark

“do me a favour, be careful on the day I die,
if one of you dogs says oh
don't pray for him he's in heaven, I'm going to haunt you till it's your day” . Fr Mark, we promise to pray for you . Thank you for sharing your love with us & for always preaching the truth. Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon him, May his soul rest in peace ❤

I could cry because I didn't know about him until after his passing.. Father I pray for you!!

[lisamummert]

We will miss you Fr. Beard. A tremendous voice for our Catholic Church. 🙏

God works in mysterious ways for sure.
I only discovered Fr. Mark due to a YouTube posting of his passing.
I’ve learned more about the Bible and The Faith from listening to his homilies since then than ever before.
God is still using his faithful servant because surely more people have heard Fr. Mark preach and explain the truth since his passing than they would have otherwise.
I don’t think he’ll be in purgatory long.
God is good in all His wondrous ways 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Father, we first found your church 5 or 6 years ago, while camping in Natalbany. What a huge impact you have made on our lives especially my husband of 42 years. I always preached about potty mouth to him. He is a boat captain aka cuss like a sailor and works 20 days offshore and 10 days home. After finding you on YouTube, he never misses your Sunday mass whether we attend mass when he is home or he is unable to attend because he is at work. We come home from mass on Sunday and he listens to your sermon as soon as it hits the channel. You have made a huge impact on his/our lives. He no longer cusses or hardly ever. He now tells his coworkers, it is unnecessary to use curse words, “you should listen to Father Mark”. I have taught religion for probably over 20 years and I have learned so much from you 30 years out. Thank you so much for your teaching. You have touched our/so many lives. We hear you and we thank you!❤️🙏🏻

Thank you, Lord for giving us Fr Mark. As long as we can listen to him, we are being drawn closer to You. Peace be to his family & parishioners, and may his soul rest in Peace in the arms of Jesus, who he loves so much❤

[josephineseymour]

The best “Priest” that I ever heard! May his soul rest in full peace . Amen😢

[anitavaughn]

I started watching Fr. Beard a couple of weeks before he died. I am blessed.

[evahernandez]

This soul flew to heaven with his cassock only it was white
Thank you Lord for the gift of this priest as well as so many faithful servants.

50:40 Even though I don't know Fr. Mark, I made sure to pray a rosary for him. God bless him. 🙏

O Lord, we pray Thee that the soul of Thy priest, Thy servant Father Mark Beard, which, while he abode in this world, Thou didst adorn with sacred gifts, may ever rejoice in a glorious place in heaven. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Father Mark has truly awakened the Holy Spirit in my soul. My wife and I first attended mass at St. Helena Catholic Church in September 2022. We both felt like St. Helena felt like home, and
that Father Mark sparked something deep inside us. Through Father Mark, I was able to get my children and grandchildren closer to God. He has changed everything in my life. I thank God 
for Father Mark and know that I will continue my journey in the Catholic religion. "Perservere!!! We must stay the course...finish the race!"

Fr. Mark was a great teacher of our Catholic faith.. I a feel blessed that I read his conversion story and found him not even a week before he passed away. I was starting to doubt my faith. Then I found this wonderful priest . I wouldn't be surprised if miracles start happening and he will some day be canonized one day. May you rest in the arms of our dear Blessed Mother and Jesus.🙏✝️❤️

[RosaVera-fsky]

i live in New York and all i do is to listen to Fr. Mark’s sermons. He has taught me so much and i just love listening to him… thank you God for letting me find Fr. Mark 🙏

[chrisgillen]

[Bonabb]

[DianneElizabeth]
