"Thank you so much Father Tom for such a wonderful experience. I am 34 yrs old and married with a 3yr. daughter. My whole life I have struggled with the thought of loving myself. During all my years of going to Sunday mass I have never been so moved as I was with your mission. Your words and stories have touched me so much. I have always been a good person but I have done some things that have hurt me and my family. The past has held onto me with a tight grip and I am now ready to break free. Even after confession I cant seen to let it go. As a woman and a person of the ME generation, I thank you for your words. Never before have I noticed how vital my love for meself is and for my husband. I have shared you story with my parents and siblings. Thank you again and God Bless."

Mary Banaitis

"Having been blest with opportunity of attending one of Fr. Tom's missions and having listened to many of his tapes, I feel a much deeper connection and positive feeling regarding the blessings of faith, hope and trust we have to help us in our journey. Father Tom makes those so apparent to us and shows us how to be happy with ourselves so we can share the good things with others."

Maureen Dickson

"Father Tom has the ability to hook you on the first night of the mission so you won't want to miss a single session. His unique style, sense of humor, and personal stories will appeal to all ages! I thank God for his 'very needed' ministry!"

Brenda Mayrose

"Father Tom's honesty and humor are a winning combination. 'Loving the love within' is a great way to love God, love yourself and feel God's love for you, all at the same time! Don's insights were great, too. Thanks!"

Ceci LaDuca

"I have attended 3 of Fr. Tom's parish mission sessions in the last 6 years in KS and MO--and look forward to the next opportunity to participate in another one. With each "witnessing-experience," my insight and appreciation for the "life and love within" has deepened greatly. I also have shared with others the spiritual insight derived from Fr. Toms' videos and audios. Thanks so very much for your ministry."

Jerry Schmeltz

"I just experienced Father Tom at St. Pauls here in Tampa. I am still shaking from the message, I never understood about the love within. The light went on as the message was delivered. Thank you Father Tom!"

Michael Haase

"Unequivocally the most promising and inspirational message that I have heard next to the Big Book itself. Issues that stumble and obscure our path to peace, freedom and God's true Love where challenged and remedied with practical, down-to-earth solutions. I learned how much God truly loves me and how to break down walls I have unknowingly built throughout my life. Fr. Tom's ministry is truly a blessing. Because of his help, great things have come to pass for me and countless others! Thank You."

"I thought your Mission was excellent especially the consolations for young families in our parish. Your comments about the relationships in our families were very inspiring."

Bea Saenez

"For several weeks, I have been praying to the Holy Spirit, my new found friend at age 65. I worried much about perhaps whitewashing or forgetting sins of the past. I had read about 30 pages of the book. One night I could not sleep so I reached for the book. My book mark was on page 81. I knew that I had not read that many pages but I began to read and see if I could get familiar with the page contents. The first thing that I read was an answer to my "worry" When God forgives, He forgets. I need to forgive myself. I believe that I had a similar worry a few years back. The priest told me that I should forgive myself. I believe I can do that. This seems like one of those small miracles that pop up when not expected."

Mary Ann Cravens

"I felt so new when I left this mission, I was so uplifted, It stirred so many unresolved issues in my life, I know God has called me to love myself, so I have begun my Journey today. Thank you Father Tom!!"

Frances Luna

"I enjoyed your mission so very much. I felt you had looked into my heart and knew exactly how I felt. I hope that I have the opportunity to attend another mission in the future."

Patty Bradshaw

"I would recommend this mission to anybody! It touches everyone and helps you to find your inner strength with god and then to share it with others."

Wendy Pappas

"Do yourself a favor -- go to a mission whenever and wherever you can. The message of God's love is so needed today in a world so hurting and angry."

Dr. & Mrs. James Trompeter

"I would recommend this mission for all of my family and friends. I highly encourage all families to attend. I feel privileged to have been able to attend."

Mr. & Mrs. Willard

"Come and find yourself and as Fr. Tom would say: ' Love the love in the family.' I would recommend this mission highly. I hope I'll have the opportunity to attend again in the future."

Pat Turek

"Great! Enjoyed it Tremendously."
