Letter to Archbishop Lucas re: Fr. Steve Emanuel

Many prayers for Father Steve!

He was a great homilist

Father Steve was one of the best priests I have had. He was a great teacher at Gross and priest at St. Columbkille.

Let him without sin throw the first stone. I'm praying he is reinstated soon so he can preside over my daughter's wedding..

I have no idea what has happened but Fr. Steve is a true deciple of Christ. I can never thank him enough for saying yes.

I think what is happening to our faithful priests is a disgrace.

Father Steve is an amazing person and pastor. I couldn’t imagine him not preaching and sharing his wisdom or love with anyone.

Fr. Steve is one of the best priests I've ever known. To do this to a man who actually lives the life of a Christian is one of the most terrible things I've ever seen. The Archdiocese isn't going to be getting any more money from me - if this is how they spend our hard earned dollars, I want nothing to do with them anymore.

Fr. Steve has always been there for our family, he baptized my son, and continues to be an example of what Jesus would be like in person for me!

Prayers for Father Steve Emmanuel’s reinstatement

Fr. Steve helped me enter the Church after my conversion from atheism. He's been my spiritual director now for several years. He is one of those priests that define the very word. I am truly flabbergasted at this entire situation. While I admit I do not know ALL of the facts, what I have heard seems to indicate to me that what is taking place is yet another example of the cancel culture and the lack of courage in our Church leaders to defend and support their flock. I want to add my emphatic support for the immediate reinstatement of this most holy man. Pax Christi Fr. Steve Dr. G

Bogus complaint!

Please reconsider reinstating Fr. Steve. I have known him all of his life and watched him grow up to be a sincere, well respected person in the North Bend community. Him becoming a priest was a great gift from God for our entire Catholic community. We need more priests like Fr. Steve. We will continue to praying for Father's reinstatement.

Fr. Steve is an amazing priest! During his time at St. Isidore, I was blessed to know him. He truly has an awesome way with people, especially our youth.

I have known Father Steve his entire life. His family has always been strong members of our church. I urge you to reinstate his assignment as priest. He is an amazing religious resource to all who know him, and in today’s world, our youth is in need of his knowledge, compassion, and instruction. He is an amazing ambassador of God.

Shame on the Bishop doing this to a good priest.

Please reinstate Father Steve. I attended his ordination and have NEVER heard one negative comment regarding his personality or service to our Lord.

I think it would be very wise to reinstate him ASAP

I have never in my 54 years on this earth ~ known a more caring and wonderful priest who has made such a positive impact on so many parishioners, students, athletes he coached, and most importantly my family. I do not know what is really going on. But there is no priest that I have ever felt that I must support more than Father Steve. He has Blessed me and my family and so so many others that I know! He is without a doubt such a kind, and spiritual man. I pray for him everyday. This must be made right. God is good ALL THE TIME. Father Steve we ALL SUPPORT YOU~ 110% without question. Much love always. The Pietryga Family

Fr. Steve helped me more than he will ever know. He went above and beyond in doing so and in giving of his time
