A great testament

God bless you, Father Norm! 🙏🙏🙏

My heartiest congratulations on being selected for the Polsky Award.. it’s most fitting for you…and well deserved My parents were very good friends of the Polsky’s… my mother worked for the store as a model. I remember many a fun Sunday afternoon with them. Bless you, Froncie Repetti

Incredibly timely fireside homily for me, as I’m about to experience “dramatic change” on Pentecost Sunday when I enter into the Catholic Church. Glory to Jesus Christ in the Holy Spirit unto God the Father!

Wonderful and spirit filled message... Thank you!

What a great ceremony.

The greeting was amazing! I wanna hear her preach 🙌🏾

Congratulations to Father Gideon! May you take and follow the words of Pope Francis: be rooted in Jesus Christ-don't forget to pray; stay close to the people you serve by smelling like the sheep-you are to serve not lord over them, avoid careerism and clericalism-don't get any sense of clergy entitlement and superiority over the laity, continuously read and study especially the scriptures so you always deliver quality homilies, be attuned to and apply the reforms and teachings of Vatican II-don’t desire having grandmother laces and guitar shaped vestments and appear like liturgical clowns. And (not Francis’ words, now my own) in light of the ongoing crisis and scandal: don’t be enticed and get trapped in the quagmire of the gay lavender mafia within the Church which is at the root of and operation of the homosexual predation sex abuse scandal by the clergy and cover up by bishops.

You will serve well Andy!

Thank you, Seminarian Jeff. You are a gift!

I LIKE

Deacon Robin, I enjoyed your lengthy homily. I just want to thank you and let you know my feelings. If I may speak on behalf of the Mark Heffernan Division of the AOH, I would like to say we are privileged to have you as an ordinary member yet we consider it extraordinary to have as our Deacon and provide our homily at our meetings. We are blessed. We acknowledge that fact. And we thank you for what you do for us. And I thought the world of your mother. Thanks. Your buddy.

Faith & Faith Community...Truly a message for all of us everywhere 🙏🙏

Excellent

Thank you, Fr. Norm, for your heart that encompasses so many of us. You are an anointed blessing to us here in the Akron area. May God through Mother Mary shower you with every blessing and grace at this Thanksgiving and forever more. Amen.

A great story Normie---- my mom die on thanksguving day when my older daughter was 8 years old( now 45). We had had a great thanksgiving with friends. Mom was tired and ask to taken home as rest of us staying for sandwiches and soup for later. We packed her up stuff for her dinner. We got back home at 10ish and found her dead in her sleep. God took her as she wished , in her sleep amen

Thank you Fr. Norm. I remember my grandma telling me that going to Mass on All Souls Day is the most important.

Amen! Thank you, Fr. Norm :)

Well said. Thank you

Hi Pat Interesting I came across this You came to my heart tonight I’m sorry about your son God be with you in Jesus name 🙏🏻

Fr. Norm, thank you for this message. With the change in the seasons, I hope that I can re-join those Saturday morning group meetings that you mentioned. Something that I find interesting in the Scripture that you talked about, where Jesus travels through Samaria, is that while He cured the leper (something that he understood as not being caused by sin), at no time did he try to change the Samaritans, to make them no longer Samaritans. All too often, we in the LGBTQ community are welcomed into the church, but with the stipulation that we must change our sexuality. But, just as God created the Samaritans as Samaritans, God created me to be transgender. Not only can I not change my gender identity, something that I believe God created, but I believe that it would be a sin to try to do so.

Thank you for sharing. God bless

Thank you Fr. Norm for your talk. I agree with you about being connected. God created us to work together for Him.
