Diocese of Denver - Letter of Good Standing
“Thank
you to you and your wife for the extraordinary apostolate you are
doing! I'm still profoundly moved by what I learned from your
3 presentations, and I know that Jesus touched my heart deeply.
Something changed (for the better!) in my faith and my
relationship with Jesus thanks to your presentations! I will live
the coming Holy Week and Easter very differently this year!” Monique - Montreal, Quebec, Canada 2023 SHROUD of
Turin “Our
parishioners were filled with awe and amazement and
commented on how much they enjoyed the spiritual journey you took them
on.” Karen Smeath, Pastoral Associate “.. an
outstanding job … including scientific, scholarly and
a faith based approach. Thank you for
your work in the areas of evangelization and spreading the Gospel of
Christ. We look forward to future
collaboration …” Reverend Pawel Zboroswki, S.T.L.
“His
knowledge of the Shroud is extremely broad and well
understood and he presents it with a great faith in Jesus Christ.
I wholeheartedly support Mr. Bernatchez in
his ministry … If your parish is considering an evening of reflection
and faith
enrichment this program will be truly inspiring.” Rev. Martin Michniewicz
“You
allowed our parishioners, families and friends to gather together as a
community to become more knowledgeable; and also to draw deeper into
their faith.” Pastor of St. Damian Church, Oak Forest, IL
Wylie Smith, Stewardship Director EUCHARISTIC MIRACLES
“Our parish has been deeply blessed by your presentation of
Eucharistic Miracles of the World. Even
though the exhibit itself is enough to disturb our complacency as to the real
presence of the Body and Blood of Jesus in the Eucharist, your knowledge and
conviction in faith add a very personal validation to what you are
presenting. Many parishioners have
expressed how your visit to our parish has stirred a new or forgotten reverence
and awe of this great gift of Christ …” Rev. Michal Osuch, C.R., Pastor
“In a
day and age when there seems to be a real loss of
appreciation for the Real Presence in the Holy Eucharist among our
Catholic
members, this presentation can really be an aid to faith.
This is a very professional exhibit utilizing
clear story boards of Eucharistic miracles and saints with a special
Eucharistic connection.” Rev. James J. Setelik, Pastor “the Miracles of the Eucharist event was the catalyst to generate enough interest to launch Perpetual Adoration" Leslie Low Fairchild, Perpetual Adoration Coordinator “Our
students were not only engaged by the … presentation on
the Eucharistic Miracles, they were captivated. As
the children learned about the miracles, we could definitely feel the
presence of the Holy Spirit. This
exhibit is truly an excellent way to help children understand what the
‘True
Presence’ really means and who we are receiving, Body, Blood, Soul and
Divinity, in the Eucharist. Julia Fracker, MBA, MA, Principal “Mr.
Bernatchez offers the subject matter from the
perspective of someone who has obviously done a great deal of research. His approach was both appropriately
scientific, as well as reverent, and conveyed his devotion to the
Eucharist
through faith and reason. Dick’s
presentation drove home … what an amazing God we have – one who
continually
breaks open our concept of who He is and calls us to delight in His
glory.” Tina Marie Wernette, Director of Pastoral
Care and Parish
Life “I
highly recommend the Eucharistic Miracles Exhibit and Mr.
Richard Bernatchez! This is such a great
way for all of us to learn more about the awesome gift of the Eucharist
and how
many times and ways that God has reached out to show us it’s wonders. He kept the attention of a room full of
teenagers and that is not an easy thing to do! They
were very interested and we did follow up assignments in the
classroom to assist them in learning even more about such an amazing
gift of
the miracles.” Mrs. Kathy Mack, Campus Minister “We are
very grateful for the wonderful exhibits you
presented. We have had nothing but a
positive response from our community.” Juan Maldonado, Seminarian “The
entire weekend was informative and it strengthened our faith in Jesus'
presence in the Eucharist.” St. Brigid Church, Hanford, CA “I want
to extend our profound gratitude for sharing with us the wonderful
presentation on the Eucharistic Miracles. It is so consoling to
see that Jesus has such wonderful Apostles like you, contributing to
His glory in the Blessed Sacrament.” San Francisco, CA LIFE AFTER LIFE
“'Life
After Life' is fabulous and ... affirms the Catholic belief that an
afterlife is real ... supports our belief in heaven, hell and
purgatory, and our earthly goal of earning a spot in eternity in the
presence of our loving and compassionate God. It is a powerful
adjunct to the Eucharistic Miracles and Sacred Cloths presentations to
increase our faith. The 'after effects' of having an NDE clearly
indicate the need to live our lives in a non-materialistic fashion,
focused on caring for and loving those we encounter. Thank you
for sharing your beautiful ministry and changing my life. I
strongly encourage for all parishes." Vicky Yardley STATIONS OF THE CROSS IN THE LIGHT OF THE SACRED CLOTHS OF THE PASSION
"His
delivery made the way of the cross come to life and impressed upon the viewers the
sufferings that Christ endured for our sins. It was expertly done and left a lasting
impression on the participants. Everyone commented how reverent and touching the scenes were and how much they enjoyed the presentation. I highly recommend Richard Bernatchez and his
presentation of the “Stations of the Cross in the Light of the Sacred Cloths
of the Passion.” Filomena Smolenski
