Bishop Burbidge, Bring Father Escalante back to Saint Francis de Sales Parish NOW

While I don't pretend to know the details of this case or why there has been such a delay in returning Father to his duties at St Francis, I do know Father's character. In the years we have been parishioners at St Francis, we have always known Father to store his treasures in Heaven, so I am sure he can come to peace with this proces. That said, he has been such a great spiritual leader for our community, that I think his community needs to see him restored to his position so his good name and the once thriving community at St Francis can begin to be healed.

An innocent wonderful man! He should be reinstated immediately.

He truly cares for his parishioners and friends. They need him back at St Francis De sales.

Father Ron of the finest men I have ever met!

Fr. Escalante is a long time friend of our family and The Godfather to one of our children. He deserves for his name to be cleared of any wrong doing and to be reinstated to his beloved parish.

Excellency, Father Escalante is one of the finest and most honorable priests we have ever known. He served St. Francis de Sales parish with sincere dedication for years and his parishioners valued him. Please rectify this injustice. He deserves nothing less than complete exoneration and restoration, so he can continue to do the work God has called him to do. Thank you.

Fr. Escalante was the finest man I ever worked for. He should be returned to his parish!

Fr Escalante was my priest growing up as a child. He would never violate any boundaries

Not only is Father Escalante innocent, but he is the best preacher our church has had. He is on fire for the Lord and helps us feel the glory of God Before each Eucharist.

Amen

Please bring Father Escalante back! He is a good person and doesn’t deserve this!

Continued prayers for healing, truth, and everyone involved

Bring Father Escalante back!

Father Escalante has brought to our parish the spirit of real Christianity , an example of how Jesus would relate to young and old. He has inspire the young to stay in our church. I ask for Justice to his name and reputation. Do not punish our community with keeping him away from our community, there are so much to do still and he is vibrant and creative

Our good Shepard, Father Escalante has been greatly missed from our parish! Please return him to his home!

We believe that father Escalante deserves to back to Saint Frances de Sales in Purcellville. He was not charged of any crimes and he had worked so hard to this community. His dedication to the church and the community was impeccable and a lot of people loved him.

Restore to St. Francis de Sales our faithful, good shepherd Fr. Escalante! Let the truth shine like a light for all to see and cast away the darkness of the malicious scheme that seeks to do him and His flock harm!

This all started with a false allegation and that allegation is being perpetuated until the diocese returns Fr. Escalate back to St. Francis de Sales.

Please bring Father Escalante back!
