Father Charlie, thank you for helping me through the teen years and when pops passed. Rest in Peace.

R.I.P. Father Mac. You will never be forgotten??

I have so many fond memories of Father Mac! It was amazing how he knew how to talk to us as teenagers. If you had a problem you knew who to talk to. And who could forget make room for the Holy Ghost? Thank you for your service, you had an awesome career! Rest In Peace!

Farther Mac was a mentor during high school at St Catherine of Sienna and kept all of us CYOers on the straight and narrow .. My husband and I were thrilled to have him officiate at our wedding 54 yrs ago. We were the first to be able to receive communion under both forms....Father MAC just received permission the night before the wedding and was as nervous as we were! A wonderful and loving man....we will all miss him.

I was a student at St. Catherines. Graduated I 1963. He was an influencer in my life and always wanted him to know it. Unfortunately life takes us in many different directions, however, I always remember him. He serves as an example of a mans man and true Priest.
