About Fr. Kevin Fete...

The reason I've posted about this holy man of God, is because I've been praying to him since his death in July when Dr. Ray wrote and told me he'd passed on Sunday,July 23, 2006. In a way, he's who I've called the "patron saint" of RECON. He's who I've prayed to about this apostolate and I know he and St. Therese, a doctor of the Church are quite a team in heaven now!

I began praying to him right away, as I felt such an affinity for him, on Monday, the 24th. That was the day we received the apologetics series Dr. Ray and he made early this year. I found that to be rather uncanny, because I'd not known what he looked like, and here he was...laughing on the back cover of the dvd. That's the first picture I saw of him, a big grin, and how I see him so often now. When I finally was able to watch him and hear him speak, I was in awe. I fell in love with him and his love for Truth and Our Lady touched me. His brilliant mind, gentle way, kind heart, firm and resolute belief and love for Sacred Tradition and Orthodoxy held me captive. I wrote Dr. Ray and told him that I'd love to "sit at his feet" but that I'd not jump in front of a Mack truck to get there just yet. But I can't wait to meet him someday. He was the parish priest at Little Flower parish in Canton, Ohio for 10 years, and as I commented on another site, I know he and St. Therese are both busy "spending their heaven doing good on earth." He and St Therese are my "dynamic duo" who I call on every day to help me, to pray for others, to pray for RECON and all who will come to our meetings to learn and grow in the Faith. I'm so grateful that Dr. Ray made the series with him, and that his memory can live on so vividly through that medium. Please visit Dr. Ray's website and find out how to get these dvd's for yourself and as a gift for others. It's a wonderful tool for evangelization, perhaps for older children, college age who are searching. It's a way that I'd love to share the Faith with others. Dr. Ray plays the "antagonist" nicely, and they both have a special sense of humor that is charming. You can tell they're good friends.

I love to "storm Heaven with Father Kevin." He's the best and he's only changed location. He is still bringing Christ to people and people to Christ. Forever a priest of our Lord. Thank you Fr. K. for being a friend to all and loving everyone you met with the love of God. Thank you for your intercession for RECON and being an inspiration to me walking the lake and praying the rosary the last few months with you has been so special a time. I can't wait until it's warm enough again to walk, pray with and talk to you there again. You're my "go to guy" in my "starting line up" of Saints. ~ susie
