Fr. Larry talks about him leaving

Father Larry changed my life many years ago when he came to Lancaster, PA to lead our Parish Renewal over 3 evenings. The final evening program ended after midnight as Father Larry reenacted the Lord’s Passion and then heard confessions. Then Father Larry drove 8 hours back to Erie to celebrate Mass for his Parish. And that encounter, for me, started a many-years love affair with this wonderful priest and servant. I’ve attended retreats with him at Mount Saint Mary’s University in Maryland and countless video sessions. God bless you Father for your faithful service and many years more to come I pray.

Father Larry, God sent this to me. I didn’t seek it. You were a Lenten speaker at St Cecilia in Cincinnati, Ohio. I was a new convert to the Catholic Church. I was every talk you gave that week. I bought your book “I Surrender”. I remember in your talk you said you lie prostrate in your bed every morning before your feet hit the ground and tell Christ “I surrender myself to you, do with as you will”. And on your book you say to ask Him “ Who do want me to die for today?” I do this every morning, I’ve been confirmed now for 3 years. Thankyou Father, thankyou for your faith, your mission, your candor and honesty, your love for the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, for Christ body, the Church. I pray for you Father, we are spiritual warfare. Stay strong, stay faithful. I know that you will for you have the heart of Christ and Mary. God bless, in Christ through Mary. May God bless you on your new journey of faith. 🙏🥰✝️💕

As a Protestant before my conversion, this kind of announcement would have prompted me to go Church Shopping for a new paster and church. This is a good reminder that church is where we worship GOD - the pastor should not be our main focus or purpose in attending, no matter how anointed he is or much we like him. Blessed are the new community Fr Larry is called to serve.

I want to cry so bad, and this isn’t even my community. Thank you Father Larry for being an obedient and faithful priest. I wish we had many more like you. Will be praying for you ❤

Oh, my goodness, 22 yrs. in one place is unheard of. You are very lucky and your parish is too. They must be very sad. Wherever you go, those people are in for a real treat. Love you, Fr. Larry.

I hope that wherever Fr. Larry goes, he can still livestream Mass. His Mass livestreams got my family and me through the pandemic.

Thank you LORD for bringing Father Larry into my life, may he continue bringing us all closer to YOU . Bless him and keep him.🙏🏻❤️😊

You ARE so loved by your Congregation and By Our Lord Father 🙏 Took me over 2 years to discern leaving my Home Parish of 24 years. My heart is with you as I know the struggles. Thank you for Always reminding US, that it is not about US, it is about Our Savior and no matter where we end up, it WILL STILL only be about Christ, Our Lord and Savior ❤️

God bless you Fr Larry as you continue in life's journey. Save souls!

Fr. Larry is a priest's priest. He is a true shepherd. During the pandemic, I was recuperating from knee replacement surgery -- a double whammy. I looked for a Mass online and I stumbled upon St. Joe's and Fr. Larry. I was immediately taken in by his devotion, fervor, honesty and directness. Wherever he is assigned, the sheep will follow and love him.

Thank you for coming to Rhode Island M.O.S.J. conference to yell at us and wake us up. My uncle is nearly deaf but heard every word of your testimony to truth! Never lose your drive or voice❤ Dan

As someone who goes to St. Josephs, I really dont think it will be they same fr. Larry is a unique person, and we love him for that

His was the first Sunday Mass I attended. I joined the Church 10 months later after going through RCIA. Thank you, Fr. Larry! ❤

I would like Fr Larry to know I followed his on line daily mass all the way from Malaysia!! Please pray for Christians and Catholics in our country. God bless you in your new assignment. Always remember how you pray the Lords Prayer ..

Attended Father Larry's Mission retreat in Cypress, Ca several years ago. He blessed our congregation greatly, and is a true warrior for the Lord. God truly has a new plan in place for this good and faithful servant.

You know Father Larry being a priest is not a lonely life, you feed your flock, you lead people to holiness, you do what God choose you to do. We love you. God bless you.

Fr Larry, your new parish should be overjoyed to have you. 🙏❤

Fr Larry! I am from India and have been following your ministry online for the past 10+ years,., I have learned immensely through your wise & insightful sermons, brought me closer to God. I understand how your parishoners feel about your leaving them physically, but be assured for many of us, life continues to be the same through your online ministry. Please continue to share your insights mnre profoundly through his media so that many more people globally can be enlightened . Thank you Fr Larry and wishing you the very best in your new assignment

Doing the Nine Month Novena with Cardinal Burke.. to Our lady of Guadalupe..and it's lifting me up. This is an extra bonus as we pray for God will in the Nation and the World. Won't you join us. Father Larry...I'm so glad you're somewhere so that I can hear you!

It is difficult for the laity to loose a good faithful Priest but I always say, it's only fair for this Priest to go and share his gifts. Bless you Father Larry.
