I will never forget his kindness to my family he was a special part of our lives and if not for him I would not have made it to the church for my first communion.

a mass will be offered for Fr. Jim in Toledo ,Spain (Carriches) on Dec. 22 at 6p.m. That would be 12 noon in the U.S. His neice Debbie, her husband Isidro and their children James, Louie and Debbie would like to invite all to join them spiritually in this mass. We ask that Fr. rest in peace and thank the Lord for letting him be a part of our lives. Thank you to everyone especially the staff at Columbiere for their kind attention. Deborah Davis Castaño

i just learned about Fr. Brichetto death. he was my high school sociology teacher and swim coach. we all loved him very much. a GREAT guy!! he will be in my prayers

I really appreciate the kind words about my uncle "Fr. Jim". He is missed but we are comforted by kind words and memories of his life. He really gave his all for others and was able to be with people in their present moment. He loved the poor, elderly, and those who seemed to be challenged by life daily. He is now a great intercessor for our prayers. If you have a hopeless cause then give it to "Brick" so he can stay busy in heaven. He always loved a good challenge. Carpe diem!

Deep sympathy to Fr. Brichetto's family, but we are sure he is with God and the angels.
Fr. Brichetto attended grade school with me, James J. Brady. He was a good friend, and I will always remember him with great joy.
I really would like to send a card to his sister,Sylvia Davis, but do not know where to contact her. Hopefully she will see this and try to contact me via email.

It was with great sadness that we learned of the death of Father Jim. He was a great friend to our family, while he served at St. Francis Xavier Church in Cincinnati in the 1970's and 80's. He baptised two of our three children. We had some great times together. Father Jim was a very good priest and friend. May God welcome him to heaven.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.
