Praying everyday for Father Jeremy! He is a faithful and holy priest and our lives have been richly blessed by his leadership. He cares about the salvation of every soul under his care and we were blessed beyond measure by him while he was our pastor. We need his leadership more than ever right now.

Your Excellency, we respectfully implore you for the good all involved to make this case a priority. The faithful deserve to know the truth of the matter especially as scandalous headlines abound about other bishops ignoring the good of their flocks and Fr Leatherby has the right to defend himself. Please hear your faithful they need to know you will do the right thing in this matter. Thank you, Excellency, you and all involved remain in our prayers.

Please return Father Leatherby to active ministry. Our Holy Catholic Church needs him. His sermons and holiness call us all to a deeper conversion and draw us into recognizing the call Our Blessed Lord has on each one of our hearts.

Father Jeremy is truly a blessing and Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary parish experienced a positive revival once he became pastor at Presentation. He needs to be reinstated ASAP.

It is time that Father Leatherby's case be made a priority for the sake of the integrity of the Church and the children/families he lead at PBVM. The Church needs great priest who are not afraid to teach the correct doctrine and traditions that Jesus came to establish. It's time to clean "house" of the pro-gay and luke warm priests/parishioners. Even if that means we (Catholic church) dwindle in size, Jesus started with only 12! Let's set the world ablaze with the correct teachings and doctrine of the Catholic church!

I want more than just a reinstatement..that would be easy for the diocese. I want ANSWERS to the issue at hand..homosexuality going on in Sac Diocese and being ignored, and the faithful punished. I want him publicly cleared, and a public statement from the diocese.

The church is in such turmoil right now it seems very sad that Father Leatherby is not out helping the church.

Fr. Leatherby is one of the holiest men I have ever met and his innocence will be proven in God's time.

Please return Father Leatherby to Presentation Parish. The Parish has not been the same since he was replaced. I made the decision to join Presentation Parish in 2013 because Jeremy and his family supported Prop 8 despite the scrutiny they suffered at their family business. Father Leatherby was a true blessing to all of us and I continue to pray he will return and bring joy back to Presentation Parish. Lord hear our prayers!

Bishop Soto, this man has been deprived of the protocol, the process any priest or religious is entitled to if accused by anyone of anything! Do not leave him to twist in the wind, hoping that he'll leave the priesthood! He's a holy, godly man and priest. Return him to active duty and restore all his priestly faculties immediately, please. We the laymen of the Church have a right to ask this of you, seeing the abuses of due process Father Leatherby has been subject to! Sincerely, Helen Spalding
