RICHARD MATTY

Fr.Matty, you've been on my mind and rightfully so as the anniversary of your passing is upon us- your spirit continues to guide me as think of you often- when in El Paso I am drawn to the Cathedral as I feel closer to you- your prayer over our daughter when she was 3 and very ill, that she grow up to be a healthy young lady as been answered but you know this -please continue to intercede for me and us- you are deeply missed- but never forgotten-

Padre Rick, sigue presente en nuestros pensamientos, lo recordamos con cariño siempre. Cristina y Juan Vargas

Father Rick, it has been twelve years since your passing, yet your memory remains vivid and your spirit continues to inspire us.

I MISS YOUR MASS AND HOW FUNNY AND INTERESTING YOU MADE THEM, NEVER BORING. YOU WERE SUCH A GREAT PERSON TO EVERYONE AND STILL ARE FROM ABOVE. PLEASE TAKE CARE OF US!!!

Eye has not seen, ear has not heard, what God has ready for those who love him. I woke up singing this song, far from El Paso. Every church I attend, I have Masses offered for Fr. Rick, even in Africa, and wherever I find Jesuits. Other priests have come to and left St. Patrick Cathedral in El Paso. It is not their fault that they will never measure up to Fr. Rick. I doubt any of them have traveled to Chiapas since Fr. Rick died. He was fearless and relentless. He would chastise me for...

YOU WILL ALWAYS BE WITH US!
