Fr. Marion Tolczyk

Still missed! He is always in my prayers. Having Mass offered for him tomorrow, September 6, 2024 at 12:10 p.m. at Immaculate Conception Church Hendersonville, NC (Former Friar) Andrew J. Andrzejewski & Wife, Gail- He married us! MAY HE PRAY FOR US!

I first met Fr. Marion as a freshman boarding student at St. Francis High School where he not only my teacher, prefect, mentor , director of the campus store and above all a friend. Although I never crossed paths with Fr Marion after my days at St. Francis I remember all that he had done for me and have carried his teachings and ideals with me for the last fifty yeras. He instilled in me many of the principles that have helped me in my life and what I learned from him enabled me to...

Fr. Marion was a uniquely down to earth and very special person, a true franciscan spirit and style of living and serving others without reservation. He was instrumental in my acceptance of the Catholic Faith and the great privilege of many good friendships. His hospitality and presence was always encouraging and helpful. I was privileged to enjoy the hospitality of his wonderful family and serve his First Mass in Bridgeport in 1954. He was always like a Dad to me and was greatly loved...

I am saddened to learn of Fr. Marion's passing. I had the privilege of meeting Fr. Marion when my mom was a resident at Mt. St.Vincent. I always looked forward to his smile and conversation. My sympathy and prayers are with you. Pat Flaherty

I am so sorry to hear that Father Marion passed. He was a good friend to my father, and my entire family is very sad about his passing.

THEN, LATER AS A FRANCISCAN FOR 13 YEARS, HE AND I TRAVELED HOME TOGETHER TO BRIDGEPORT FROM ST. FRANCIS HIGH, WHERE HE WAS MY SUPERIOR. WE SHARED MEALS WITH HIM AND HIS FAMILY: HIS SISTER CONNIE, HER HUSBAND PERCY AND VISITED WITH HELEN AND GEORGE. WHEN I RETURNED TO THE LAY STATE, HE WAS THERE TO HELP ME ADJUST TO THE LAY...

R.I.P father michael i will miss you forever

I met Fr. Marion when he called to invite me to perform on my violin for a special Holy Mass at St. Stanislaus Basilica. Through the years, I have been inspired by his homilies and by his devotion to God.
Rest in Peace, Fr. Marion

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome...
