Father Carl was a kind, thoughtful, and brilliant person. He provided my family with spiritual guidance and friendship for decades, as he did so for many others. Father Carl may have been a saint. Certainly, his prayers coincided with unexplained healing and relief. We loved him very much and will miss him dearly. On behalf of the entire Molteni family,

Father Carl was my spiritual director for many years. He became also a dear friend. To me Carl was a member of my family. I sometimes called him my "ghostly parent." Father Carl, pray for us.
