Rev. Msgr. Ferdinando Donato Berardi

Still miss him so much....think about him all the time...

We love you Uncle Fred. Keep sending us signs.

Monsignor Berardi was my dearest friend. I am heartbroken and will miss him dearly. He just FaceTimed me about a week ago and was his happy, caring self. Monsignor- you´ll be in my heart always. Thank you for your friendship, prayers and support.

Father Freddy was a great man.To us he was cousin Freddy. We were so happy to have him over at the house in Connecticut for pasta and meatballs one last time. He was very dear to my late father and i just know that they are together again in Heaven.He will be missed tremendously.

To know Msgr Berardi was a gift I will treasure. He came as a newly ordained Priest to Blessed Sacrament, my children were just entering the school what a pleasure to have him join our parish. Although I do not live on Staten Island I made contact with him when he returned. He never forgot you. To his family & Blessed Sacrament family my deepest sympathy he truly was a man of God.

Everyone who knows Freddy knew that he was the kindest, caring soul you could ever meet.....if you ask him where he wanted to be.... he would say take me up to God .....you all have families down here that need you .....it's not your time yet.... I'm needed with God now and I must go.......You must continue on with your life without my presence....but my spirit is always with you .....until we meet again ....I will be waiting....so don't cry .....don't suffer in pain.....rejoice I'm with God now ....and one day we all will be together.

My condolences to your family. You were always there for me and my family.You married my wife and I, baptized all 3 of my children in New York and then went to Chicago where we live and gave each of my children and classmates their first holy communion. ( 3 different years). You always made mass interesting and my wife's family who are not catholic all spoke of how you made them feel included and welcome...saying it was the best wedding.....YOU ARE Loved, APPRECIATED AND MISSED!

Loved and cherished. Heartbroken... Comforted that Msgr. Berardi has seen the face of God and will be watching over his family, friends, and parishioners, until we meet again. Deepest condolences to the Berardi Family.

Uncle Freddy,
You inspired the whole world. Starting with family especially at family gatherings. You were our light and forever will be the light of our family. We love you and say hello to everyone up there. We miss them all.

Dear Monsignor,
You,Rita and I attended Out Lady of Mt. Carmel -St. Benedict´s School. It was only a month ago when you and I reminisced about those formative years. Sending condolences to your family and parishioners. You have truly left your mark on the world. Rest in eternal peace.

To know Freddy was to love him...and I loved him from when I was 5 years old. In his own words he told me...it was a blessing to die and be with our Heavenly Father...and we should be celebrating and rejoicing....He was always there for the Aruta family, in happy and sad times and we will miss him very much. To Louie, Enza, Rita and all the Berardi family, the gift of life passes away, but love and memories are eternal gifts that stay...Cherish the memories....
Love you,
Robin, Steve and Family...

Con grande dolore viviamo questo strappo improvviso per la nascita al Cielo del nostro amato cugino Fernando.
Siamo uniti come famiglia tra l'Italia e l'America, sotto lo stesso cielo, in un unico immenso abbraccio.

Joe and I were saddened to hear of Freddie's passing. He was a wonderful and kind man and will be greatly missed. Your family was blessed to have him as a brother. Remember the wonderful times that you have shared as a family. Our sincere condolences to Enza Rita and Louie.

I knew Father Berardi and Father Hanley when they first came to Blessed Sacrament. They both were very special and are now
together again in Heaven. Have fun guys!

Fr. Fred had a special place in my grandfather's heart....he considered Fr. Fred family. We are all deeply saddened at his passing but are also taking comfort that God wanted Fr. Fred with him. Our condolences to his family. May he rest in eternal peace.
