Thank you, Father DíOrio for the blessing when you came and gave a healing service I had attended at St. Peter's Church in Hartford. After service I nervously felt the need to meet you as I waited patiently for your time. You then finally turned to me and took hold of my hand and with a warm smile you asked me, if I was from India. I will never forget how compassionate you were to me and how blessed you made me feel. I want to say I already miss you, and from my heart to yours thank you Father DíOrio.
