Yesterday, we gathered at the same church where our
friend and mentor, Fr. Don Pantle was baptized, received first communion, was
confirmed, said his first mass as a newly ordained priest and this weekend was
laid to rest.
He touched the lives of thousands of students at the University
of Scranton over some 30 years through his unique ministry of food, cards and
Eucharist which was brilliant, was Jesuit, and was incarnational. A few years ago Don asked that I would preach the homily at his funeral and was honored and humbled to have fulfilled my commitment to him. So take a few minutes and listen to why I feel Don made such a difference – and still does – in so many lives.
