Written ‘Nods

Fr. George Grafsky

In 2018 Fr. Grafsky was called on to help by the local Sheriffs Department.  There was an accident and the officer that arrived at the scene was met with two deceased people.  Knowing Father Grafsky due to how closely he worked with the department, the officer called him to help him through the traumatic ordeal. He stayed with the officer at the scene while help arrived providing him both spiritual and literal help. I want to thank Fr. Grafsky for being accessible to the community in more ways than in the church. He is so incredible at guiding people through their grief and keeping their relationship with God strong in times where it can easily waver.

Fr. Gregory Boyle

Fr. Boyle founded Homeboy Industries. It’s an organization that helps the youth of Los Angeles stay out of gang violence. A ‘nod to Father Boyle for answering God’s calling and doing his work by connecting God with troubled teens as well as the thousands of recently incarcerated men who need help getting back on their feet and to their faith.  He is an example that should be followed as he reminds us that no one is truly lost in the eyes of God. Thank you Father Boyle for herding back wandering sheep.

Bishop Richard F. Reidy

On top of becoming Bishop this year, he has made a noted effort to get the attention of catholic youths by starting a hiking group. This summer, Bishop Reidy organized a youth hiking group at Hurd State Park.  Not only has he made himself accessible to us but with all his new responsibilities, he has not let the young parishioners go unacknowledged.  It’s a beautiful thing for people to come together in nature and quite literally be guided in their faith. Thank you Bishop Reidy!
