SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS, THE STANLEY BOGASKY FAMILY.....

So sad to find that Father Tony has left this place but he is with God and at peace. I grew up with Fr. Tony's picture in our living room and he visited us in Northern Ky and then Cincinnati at my parents home... Bill and Marguerite Habig. We also visited with his sister and family when we went to Flint to visit him! His mother cooked us breakfast after Mass. We stayed in the Bishops room in his residence! So much fun and great memories. He drove his motorcycle to see us or stopped by when he...

Father Majchrowski and Dad in July 2002

It is with great sorrow that I found that Father Majchrowski has left us last fall.

I have met him twice.

The first time was in 2002, on a quest to find the grave of my grandfather's brother, Father Stanislaw Bortnowski. I had lived in Toronto, Canada for about 15 years then and my late father was visiting from Romania. Arrived on a Saturday with my father in Flint we had only the old address of the All Saints Parish, on Industrial Avenue, that my father had...

God bless, Monsignor Anthony. I was an altar boy beginning at 5-years-old at All Saints in 1951 and remained so right up through my college years at MSU in 1968. I can still recite the prayers in Latin, having served with Father for numerous Masses, weddings, funerals, baptisms, and other parish activities. I cherish all of the personal letters he sent to me over the years. There is a Polish expression, "Go With God," and I wish that for Msgr. Anthony now. He will be missed deeply.

As a tribute to our Dear Pastor and friend, I wanted to share my perspective on Father (Msgr., but he really wanted to be known as Father) Majchrowski and honor him.

He would say Holy Mass with such a profound love for our Lord. His voice inflection hinted that his heart was so moved and his faith so strong. When he could still kneel at consecration, he would do so for some time (8-9 seconds) in adoration as he silently spoke to our Lord who became present at his uttering of the...

We will miss this wonderful man.

For over half a century, from baptisms to deaths, and every milestone occasion in between, Father Anthony was there for our family. There are no words to express the profound impact he had on all of us. We deeply grieve the loss of this uniquely amazing human,surely one of Gods' chosen. Thank you Father- you were loved and will be missed.

Dear Father Anthony,
The last time we talked on the telephone You asked me to pray for You. You also promised to pray for me and my family.
Now that You are resting in God's Sacred Heart, please continue to pray for us to join You with ALL the Saints when we are called Home.

my granddaughter and I

Monsignor Anthony grew up in the same neighborhood with my father and mother's families, the Menosky's and Briskey's, he was a very special person to all of us. And as the years went by Fr. Anthony was very special priest and friend to my generation and to my sons. He truly reflected what it meant to be a humble servant of Jesus and he gave Jesus love to many others. We will really miss him. Our prayers are with the remaining Majchrowski family. God bless you.
