Fr. James (Jim) Bermingham

An Open Letter to a true friend
A Man for All Seasons
Dear Fr. Jim,
I lost a true friend – A true Priest - a spiritual father – genuine mentor. I am grateful to you Fr. Jim, for your constant support, encouragement and for speaking positive into my life. You are a true friend, when I call for help you are there, when I need prayer, it becomes your priority before anything else, I noticed in you, that you value the sacrament of reconciliation big time, as you thought me. It’s a meeting with Jesus.
I remember: days of reflection – Mass Celebration – the presence of Jesus was evident.
Mentoring time, teaching me on the pillars of Evangelization, and ministering to people.
Time to relaxation, while sharing a beautiful meal.
Sharing childhood memories
Joking and laughter – while enjoying a mug of Tea
Watching an interesting movie and outings
Now is the time for you, Fr. Jim for eternal rest, and also to join the Saints and Angels, and Worship Jesus before His Throne as you cry out, Holy, Holy is His name and worthy is Jesus to be praised Worshiped and adored - Fr. Jim please intercede for us before the throne of God. Please prepare a place for us.
