"Dear Father Emery, I wanted to take a moment to thank you. You have an amazing, devotional, and so inviting church. I see Jesus in you so many times. Especially the way you engage with our children. I guess that's why I'm writing you. To thank you for seeing a better part of the Catholic Church. It's such an honor to be part of your Holy Cross family. I'm grateful to God for bringing me home!! May God bless and keep you. Your sister in Christ. Thank you!"
