John P. Stack

I served as an altar boy and was in CYO at St Mary Star of the sea in Indian head MD under Father Stack. One of the things he loved to do was give kids nicknames. I earned my nickname at baseball practice when while playing first base. The sun was right behind the third baseman and when he threw a ball to me at first I totally lost it in the sun and did not come close to catching it. Father Stack said nice catch Mr Magoo and that became my nickname. Father Stack never forgot any of the boys...

Father Stack was a very nice priest. I'm glad he was he founding pastor of St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church in Derwood, MD. I'm glad I knew him and he was my friend. I' so sorry that he passed away. I will miss him a lot. I know he is in Heaven with God. Blessings to his family.

Because of Father Stack's early guidance with me I remain a true Catholic, Thank you, and you will be missed, my prayers are with your family.

Great childhood memories flood my mind when I hear his name. A great influence, pastor, and person.

You will be missed Fr. Stack...I'm glad I was able to catch up with you at Susan's service

I was part of the group of early parishioners who went from St. Patrick's to help found St. Francis of Assisi and was an alter boy for Father Stack. He was one of a kind, had a wonderful dry sense of humor, loved football nearly as much as he loved his parishioners and God, and he will be greatly missed. Rest in Peace, Father.

We'll miss you Father Stack

Father stack was a great influence in my life as a child and adult and just a joy to talk to! I will miss him greatly!

Sister Mary Bader and the staff of St. Ann's Infant and Maternity Home send our condolences to Father Stack's family. We are very grateful for the generous support he extended to our mission over the last few years.
