Return Father Leatherby to active ministry

Please focus on punishing priests who are actual threats to the safety of their sheep, not this innocent man.

This man is one of the only things helping me to stay Catholic, the Church needs him

I have known Fr. Leatherby since I was a child. He has always been a man of integrity and unwavering faith. Re-instate Fr. Leatherby so that he can continue to inspire through his service.

Fr Leatherby is an amazing and holy priest. The diocese is losing out by having him out of ministry.

There is no holier priest! The way Fr. Leatherby has handled this unjust persecution is of no surprise to me. He is suffering just as Christ did. Reinstate Fr. Leatherby NOW!!!

Evil can no longer hide. As a shepherd, please protect the innocent children and adults in your care. Rid your diocese of the wolves and return Fr. Leatherby to honor and right standing. Please, cause no more harm to whistle-blowers who have no recourse but to report to you what they have observed.

Praying for you Fr. Jeremy Leatherby

What brought me to Presentation Parish is Fr. Jeremy Leatherby's desire to bring everyone he could to a deep and meaningful relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ. I appreciate how he takes very seriously his role as our shepherd. He understands the gravity of his responsibility to his flock. I felt cared for and was challenged to be nothing less than a saint under his fatherly care. His leadership brought miraculous healing to my family and continues to bless our family through what he taught us and the GREAT GIFT of Presentation School and the Dominican Sisters of Mary Mother of the Eucharist. I am eternally grateful to Fr. Jeremy Leatherby and look forward to seeing him reinstated as soon as possible. I genuinely hope our Bishop is being genuine in his actions because we will all be called to account for what we have done and what we have failed to do. That being said, it's never too late to say I'm sorry (but the sooner, the better).

Most reverent priest I ever met

Bring back our beloved pastor, Father Jeremy. -SK Miguel Acosta

Please return Father Leatherby to active ministry. He is an exceptional holy priest.

Father Leatherby’s humility, patience and obedience during the period of time since his removal from active ministry has been inspiring and a beautiful example of what holiness looks like. The delay in his case appears to be without good cause. Moreover, while Father has been unable to defend himself, Diocesan staff have slandered him and shared confidential details (gossip, not facts) about his situation. I have directly experienced this and it is truly unfortunate. Please act immediately to resolve this case and help repair our trust in the Diocese. Three years is an unreasonable amount of time to take action in this matter.

Return our Holy priest

I have never enjoyed church more than when Fr. Leatherby said mass. He should be back in the Catholic Church where he truly belongs.

I do not believe this letter for 1 min. There has been no move to clear this priest of being badly treated these last 2 1/2 years. God see’s and He knows!

Bishop Soto, We are devoted Catholics who need transparency from the leader of our diocese.

Please Bishop Soto hear our petition!

Bishop Soto you need to do what's right and reinstate this good priest more than never we need all the good priest the church has.

Do not take away our holy priests!

I want to see this holy priest reactivated.
