Friar Joseph Benicewicz OFM Conv.

He was my dad's high school math teacher in Baffalo NY and then he was my preist and he is missed by my whole family

memories from working bingo at SHM and the years at Granby. Gonna miss. God grant you rest. Steve Potyraj

So sad to hear of the passing of Fr. Joe. He would say Mass occasionally at our Parish of St. John in Cromwell. May Fr. Joe rest in God`s eternal peace in Heaven, he will be missed. Our deepest sympathy and prayers go out to Fr. Joe`s family, and his fellow Friars and Parishoners of St. Paul Church! Sincerely, With Love and Peace, John and Millie Young Cromwell, Ct

Very sad to learn of Father Joe´s passing. He was a good man. He can now cheer for his beloved Baltimore Ravens from above. Rest in Peace.

Father Joe, You´ll be missed dearly by Bella! She always loved you and always told us you were her favorite. She cried when you left St Stans and went to CT. She was so upset she wanted to write to the bishop at 10 years old. When I told her the news of your passing she was heartbroken and immediately asked why. I wish I had the answer for her. So thank you for making such a profound and lasting impact on my little one, you´ll be missed and cherished forever. Rest easy now.

Fr. Joseph was my Confirmation teacher when he was a student at St. Hyacinth. He was a wonderful teacher, a fine priest and good confessor as well. My prayers for Fr. Joseph and his family. May God in His goodness and Blessed Mother Mary lead him quickly to eternal life.

Fr Joe, you will be truly missed. One of the things I liked most about you was that you spoke the truth in black and white! You weren´t wishy washy about anything. I will keep you in my prayers. God love you.

Our sincere sympathies for your loss.
