Rev. Msgr. Ferdinando Donato Berardi

Still miss him so much....think about him all the time...

We love you Uncle Fred. Keep sending us signs.

Monsignor Berardi was my dearest friend. I am heartbroken and will miss him dearly. He just FaceTimed me about a week ago and was his happy, caring self. Monsignor- you´ll be in my heart always. Thank you for your friendship, prayers and support.

Father Freddy was a great man.To us he was cousin Freddy. We were so happy to have him over at the house in Connecticut for pasta and meatballs one last time. He was very dear to my late father and i just know that they are together again in Heaven.He will be missed tremendously.

To know Msgr Berardi was a gift I will treasure. He came as a newly ordained Priest to Blessed Sacrament, my children were just entering the school what a pleasure to have him join our parish. Although I do not live on Staten Island I made contact with him when he returned. He never forgot you. To his family & Blessed Sacrament family my deepest sympathy he truly was a man of God.

Everyone who knows Freddy knew that he was the kindest, caring soul you could ever meet.....if you ask him where he wanted to be.... he would say take me up to God .....you all have families down here that need you .....it's not your time yet.... I'm needed with God now and I must go.......You must continue on with your life without my presence....but my spirit is always with you .....until we meet again ....I will be waiting....so don't cry .....don't suffer in pain.....rejoice I'm with...

My condolences to your family. You were always there for me and my family.You married my wife and I, baptized all 3 of my children in New York and then went to Chicago where we live and gave each of my children and classmates their first holy communion. ( 3 different years). You always made mass interesting and my wife's family who are not catholic all spoke of how you made them feel included and welcome...saying it was the best wedding.....YOU ARE Loved, APPRECIATED AND MISSED!
