Monsignor Varga, whom I met in high school when I joined the Folk Mass at Holy Name, will always be Andy to me and many others. As friends, we shared many , many laughs and lasting good memories were made. My first trip to Washington DC was to visit Andy at Catholic U. Years later while I was living in maryland, Andy baptized both my daughters. When he walked out on the altar at my mother´s funeral, his thoughtfulness and kindness touched my heart deeply. My heartfelt sympathy and condolences to Liz. Rest In Peace, Andy

I knew Monsignor Varga as Andy and watched him grow up into a fine young man and priest. His parents were very proud of him. Andy, you left this earth too soon and will be dearly missed. Condolences to your sister. Good bye.

I was an altar boy with Andy and in his class at Holy Name. Years later he was our priest at St. T's in Trumbull. I was really impressed that years later he came to my mothers wake. A great priest, a great preacher and a great guy. God bless him.

Msgr. Andy was not only a great priest and pastor but a dear friend and confidant. For years he served on my Board of Directors at Sacred Heart University and championed our mission; in addition, he taught in our programs with great effect. His passing is a significant loss and he will be remembered always in my prayers. May he Rest In Peace!
