Father Escalante married us here and he’s been nothing but a true blessing in our life. Would love to have him back.

He is innocent. We do not punish the innocent. Find the guilty ones and punish them by all means, but not this innocent man.

I have known Father since his days at Good Shepherd. He is a dear friend who helped me through a painful divorce back then. I have NEVER met anyone more suited to or in love with his vocation! This situation has been nothing less than a travesty and tragedy.

The Diocese listened only to a thief and a liar. James Blankenship is both.

I was sad to see that this happened to Fr. Escalante. Did a pilgrimage with him to Italy during the Jubilee He made the whole trip. He was and hopefully still is a very special priest. I hope that he is working again for the church.

I have no problem with the current priests at Saint Francis, but in 65 years of attending Catholic masses, I found Father Escalante very special.

Shameful handling by the diocese, I have since left the church.

He sounds utterly framed.

Your Grace, it's a sad situation when someone who want to "get away" with something ruins a priest's reputation. I respect your position as our leader. But, please consider, The family lied, the man at the church stole, and, yet, Fr. Escalante is being stowed away and not able to be the priest that we know and love. Sorta' seems that these deceitful people are winning and Father is still being punished. Your Grace, isn't it time to stand behind our priests when they are in the right? Thank you for your consideration.

I’ve known Fr. Escalante for many many years. He is such a great person with a good heart. I know he wouldn’t do that. I want him back at his own parish St. Francis De Sales being a pastor. He belongs there. I’ll continue to pray for Fr. Escalante and hope he will come back to his church soon as possible.

Father Escalante did the right thing, got wrongly accused. The church should stood by him!

Father Escalante is an amazing priest and person that has touched the lives of so many people in a very personal way. Our parish is suffering this great loss.
