Rev. Msgr. Francis Schneider

Father Frank helped me regain my faith again. He baptized all 3 of my children as also gave them their first communion. A genuine man. May he rest in peace

Fr. Frank as we knew him was Pastor at the Church of St. Patrick in Glen Cove and we attended his mass each Sunday and also attended the productions that he put on for the parish. Fr. Frank said a mass in our living room for the special needs children who attended religious education together. He was beloved by the children and their families. Fond memories.

Father Schneider was our pastor at St. Elizabeth's Church in Melville. When he left our parish my heart sunk because I was never so engaged at mass as when he was our pastor. He was uplifting and compassionate. He always had amusing stories about his dog or other humorous occurrences in his life to start his sermons. He was a real human being and a heart warming priest. I am truly saddened to hear of his passing. Our Lord has taken him too soon but I know that he is in Heaven with God...

My family and I will miss Father Frank so much that words can't describe. We will miss his sense of humor that made mass such a great enjoyment every week.He meant so much to us.

Just as they said Princess Diana was the peoples' princess, Father Frank was the Peoples' Priest. His warmth, humor, love of God and commitment to his vocation was not worn on his sleeve but eminated from his very being whenever you saw him. The near endless line of those receiving the Holy Eucharist this morning was a testament to his love of his people and their love of him. May God greet him and welcome him to His Kingdom and say "a job well done my son." RIP.

Father Frank's sudden passing has left a terrific void for many of us. His words always touched something in me; so often they were exactly what I needed to hear and I said to myself, "I'm so glad I went to mass today!" I am heartbroken too I am away and cannot be at St. John's to be with Father and the parish family to honor his beautiful life. He will be sorely missed.

I remember Father Frank from St. Patrick´s. He was a wonderful Priest and a really nice guy. May he rest in eternal peace.
