Father Tom, You were a blessing in my life and your memory will be with me always. Your homilies (at Mass before the St. Jude novena) were spiritual with a very practical appliication to our everyday lives --something to take home with you that day. You always took time to talk with people and make them feel special --truly an example of Christ on earth. May you enjoy your heavenly home with Christ, Our Lady, the angels and the saints.

I always loved going to mass at Our Lady of Victories Church in Paterson NJ. The church holds a special meaning to me as it was the church that my own parents were married in over sixty years ago. Many a time on a Sunday morning I have heard Father Tom Coletta say mass as this church. I have always come out of the mass feeling that I have really been to church and in some way God is looking over me and my family. May Father RIP as he did an excellent job with that small little church in...

God has called you home as your work here on Earth is complete. You were so well respected and love at PVI and always had an open door for anyone who needed to talk.
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields
and until we meet again-
May God hold you in the hollow of his hand
