Rev. Gerard Barrett

Fr Barrett, happy heavenly anniversary. How time flys by so quickly and you are still in my prayers and thoughts. Pray for us here on earth for one day we will be with you and our Creator. Thank you for your kindness, love, knowledge and prayers all those years. Love in Christ Jesus, Margie Villarreal Gonzalez.

Fr Gerry is a Saint who intercedes for us now. His love for God inspired in life and gives hope now! Thank God for this loving and kind soul. God give him peace, rest and your joy!

I remember Fr. Gerry each day, and will carry him in my heart and prayers until I meet him again. He was my friend in God, and was my best friend. I miss him more each day, but he is ever present in good memories. I know that he is a Saint, doing more now for us, than ever before. God love him as we all have.

My deepest condolences To the family

Father Gerry as we knew him was the first priest I met when I joined the Catholic faith. He was a teacher to me as well as our priest. He also assisted me in applying for an annulment so I could marry my current wife of 12 years. He was a friend as well as our Priest. He has never been forgotten in our family and was there when my wife was going thru her divorce. He helped her stay strong in faith and life. We miss him dearly.

Father Barrett gave me one on one instruction to become Catholic at the age of 17 at St. Helen Church in Pearland TX. In the days before any High School CCE program. In 1976...when I was baptized and 1977 when I was confirmed by him. He was a remarkable priest. He was so good and friendly to everyone. May the Lord give him rest and comfort in Heaven! Truly, a priest for All Seasons!

Fr. Gerry was a blessing to us at St. John's Parish in San Juan, TX. I had the pleasure of working with him for many years. He was a compassionate man. I will miss him. May he rest in peace.

Fr Barrett was our priest back in the early 60's, his 2nd assignment. He WAS a wonderful person teaching us, the youth about the wonders of GOD and how we could service him better in becoming a priest or nun. He was kind and very understand, always teaching us to be better. He later in life got to marry me by the church in at Our Lady Guadalupe Church in Mission in 1981. He was still a loving wonderful priest with so much care and knowledge. I last saw Fr Barrett when he was Pastor at church in Port Isabel TX. Seeing him and knowing him from red red hair to blonde hair, it only showed he had Aged well in God's grace. I remember he joked about it and laughed but he knew life goes on even through the sadness . We are here for a shirt time and our life Begins with God in Heaven; that's our reward!! So rejoice Fr Barrett with him who is Greater for you have been an inspired person all through your life. We have lost a great loving faithful caring person. May the Lord Jesus Christ give you eternal rest and peace for you are my Angel in Heaven. Thank you for teaching me to love unconditionally . I love you and will miss you always Fr Barrett.

Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace.

Fr Gerry was God's gift to us. Thank You Lord for his smile, his faith, his heart. He was my friend, and he's missed. Now he is at Peace and without limitations. God love and keep you, Gerry.

I had the pleasure of working with Fr. Barrett when we were both at St. Louis Cathedral. My condolences to his family and friends on your loss of a wonderful person who lived his life in faith and ministry

Padre Barrett: great mentor, served as an Alter Boy during your tenure at OLG during the mid '60s.
You were a "Fisher" of man, the Bilble was your Cast Net used to draw mankind to Thy Lord.
Rest in Peace, Padre.

Love and Blessings to The Barrett family. May Fr. Jerry rest in peace.

I was blessed to have known Father Barrett, who was a kind, gentle priest and a great youth leader while at Our Lady of Guadalupe Church. My condolences.

Fr. Gerry Barrett dedicated his like to the service of our Lord. He was always ready to assist those in need. Fr. Gerry was not just a pastor but rather a member of our family. He had a great love for Ireland, golf, and Notre Dame football. He will never be forgotten as he will forever be in our hearts and prayers.

Father Gerry was a wonderful and kind man. His depths of kindness were unique and unbounded. He was always there for anyone who needed him, always there to offer comfort and support to others. There was no one quite like him. I know his spirit was strong and will find its way to heaven. There I hope he meets a golf course greener than the shores of Ireland. Though I know he has gone to a better place, he will be forever missed and cherished in our hearts. He gave me and my family more comfort, love, and peace than he ever knew. May his spirit and body rest in peace.

Fr. Gerry dedicated his life to serving our Lord. He loved seving, his family in Irrland and Notre Dame

Father Gerry was a wonderful man, priest and personal friend. I am deeply saddened by his passing. Del Rio was so lucky to have had him as our parish priest.
He taught me so much about my faith and I will never forget him!
