Fr. Jude Duffy O.F.M. Cap.

Father Jude made an indelible impact on my life. He married my husband and I in July of 1979. Prior to that, we came to know him as we served as youth group directors at Church of Saint Gabriel in Saddle River, New Jersey. He was invaluable to us and our teenagers as he guided and inspired us to better understand Christ's teachings and the role of faith in our lives. He was instrumental in helping my husband and I to internalize that our wedding was only one day and not to dwell on the...

Fr Jude Duffy was a gifted and skilled priest and I treasured his friendship, wisdom and advice. He was a spiritual giant- humble and compassionate. It was fun living and with him in Tampa in the early 1990s. Loved his New York sense of humor. Kept us laughing a lot. Dr. King once said that he didn´t want to go to heaven if there´s no laughter there. I am sure there is plenty of laughter there with Jude.

Miss you terribly.

When God created Fr. Jude He did so knowing the kind of world we would be living in and He knew for all those that met Fr. Jude it would be through Fr. Jude that we could get a glimpse and truly see some of the "GOOD" the world has to offer, some of its best.

Fr. Jude was a beacon of light that shined brightly, never wavering that guided all those who embraced him to a closer and more loving personal relationship with Jesus. This was not by mistake, it was well thought out, a clever...

Father Jude was a wonderful man and an extraordinary priest. Our memories of him go back many years and every memory is a treasure. He traveled with us to Medjugorje several times and helped with our humanitarian work in Bosnia. Thoughts of the times we spent together bring laughter, tears and a longing to be with him again. He was in a class by himself and no one can fill his shoes. Our love for him and gratitude for having had him in our lives know no limits. We love you, Father Jude,...

Jude. He was a light in a world that needs more light. So grateful for this man in my life. So real and funny and strong. He helped guide my spirit. Just thinking of him brought me peace and optimism.

Fr. Jude Duffy was our First Spiritual Director for years and we love him and will miss him. We had a special way of sharing our stories of life with a twin. You are missed and we will pray daily for your prayers in heaven to cover us as ours will reach you. The Lord is smiling to have this soul of Fr. Jude Duffy home.

He was a prince of a priest.

I was introduced to Father Jude by the Muldoon family. He was my mother-in-law's cousin. He was a light and a rock for the Muldoon family. He will be missed.
