I am a Catholic Priest and Retired Navy Reserve Chaplain living in Atlantic Beach, Florida. My new book Tear in the Desert is about my experiences in the Iraq war, especially my time as a Chaplain with the Marines during the Battle of Fallujah. The afterward was written by Col. Michael Shupp, USMC. This is a spiritual journey.

Father Ron,
I had the privelege to hear you deliver a homily last Spring at the children’s mass at Holy Spirit. You touched my life that day, brought me closer to God, and helped solidify my decision to convert. I thank you for all that you do – and especially for your ministry to the Military. My husband was in the first Gulf War; we watched your interview on a Journey Home together – what a profound impact you had on him as well.
I am thrilled to hear that your book will be made into a movie – what a blessing this will be to so many!
Thank you again Father Ron.
With much gratitude,
Patricia
O Patricia!
How wonderful to be alive in God’s wonderful world…tears and all! Thank you for your comments and joy of Holy Family. Pray for me that I may be able to celebrate Mass with you again. Father Ananda is amazing and a wonderful friend. I miss you all. I think I am realizing that God is asking me to be more involved with the military in my retired reserve status.
Love, joy, peace,
Father Ron
Father Ron, I just found you on facebook. I first met you at Our Lady of Consolation Catholic Church. The last time you were there you talked about being in Iraq. When you told about the spirit not always leaving the body as soon as the person dies I had chills all over. You are truly blessed with a spiritual gift from God. As you might know Father Ralph is retiring June 30 of this year. I will miss him very much. I hope you visit our church again soon. I love you. Peace and Love, Jackie
Hi Jackie!
I always think of Our Lady of Consolation with fondness. I hope you are well.
Have a blessed day!
Peace and Joy!@

Hi George!
I didn’t see you at the ordination. Hope to see you tomorrow.
Peace,
Padre Ron
My Dearest Father Ron,
The Priest, who in 15 minutes touched my life with more love and spirit, than any other Priest in my life.
My children will always be blessed because of you. My mourning and grief will never completely stop but has slowed to a place of peace.
Peace in the Garden. I am blessed with three angels in Heaven! Looking after my family on earth. How fortunate, a mother, my gift from God. Three girls Therese (of the little flower), Angeline and Rose and two living , thriving boys, Michael and Matthew. Michael who received divine blessings and help through the Angels suffering no longer, and Matt, a mental health counselor to emotionally disturbed children.
Of recent, many friends have given the book of St. Therese of the little flower to me and there have been other ways in which this Saint has come into my life. She is ever present.
God be with you in all your many endeavours.
Love through Christ,
Dana
