Not sure what to say?

Fr. Felix was a holy brother priest. My fiancé and I would always stay an extra minute after Mass to wait in line and receive the blessing of St. Jude upon our cheeks. He once reminded me that if I had a second coat, I should give it to the poor. His blessings rested on many souls. May you continue to bless us from heaven for all eternity.

You were a Dominican because they always have room for a saint, you were with the poor because you loved them. Where shall the poor go now? To Jesus, because you pointed the way. What shall we do in a dark world when the beacon pointing to Jesus is gone?

I welcome your birth into eternal life, but I deeply miss you and your personal expression of grace.

Father Felix,
We love and miss you!
We were Blessed to have You baptize Paul Jr and Angelica.
You are truly a Angel and Saint!
God Blessed Us with You in our lives,
Paul & Maggie

Thank you eternally for your loving grace and wisdom.

I was brought up in the house accross the street from St. Alberts where I met Brother Cassidy soon to become Father Cassidy. Of all the seminary students I met over those formative years, he was the only one that took the time to know me and my friend Mike Lamborn. What a sweet and caring man. He glowed with joy and spirituality.

I agree with Father Fr. Anthony Rosevear that Father Felix is truly a living saint. In the past year, I have the blessing to visit and talk to Father Felix at least once a week until his failing health 3-4 months ago.
As a small business owner and I actually came talk to him about the obstacles and challenges I faced in my life as a business person.
At 88 years old, he seemed to have the perfect understanding of my situations, much better than any professionals I have encountered....

Dear Sweet Father Cassidy there will never be another. At age ten, I was fortunate enough to have attended "Buddy" Caasidy's ordination to the priesthood. Later in life, Father Cassidy performed my marriage ceremony. Father always held a special place in my heart. Never was there a more sweeter,joyful man that walked this earth. Hugs and love, Carol Kilby
