At the time of Monsignor Perez’ death, the Padre Pio Academy Board of Directors was presented by Monsignor’s sister, a sealed envelope containing a letter, handwritten by Monsignor and, dated March 4, 2021, (while he was in reasonably good health and certainly of sound mind) and witnessed by two of his friends, neither of whom were/are board members. In this letter, he transfers complete authority of Our Lady Help of Christians to the PPA Board of Directors, who he (Monsignor Perez), gives the full responsibility with specific instructions, of finding a new pastor.
This is not the first story told by the flip-flopping school board.
1. First they circulated the story that Father Perez wrote such a letter in 2014.
2. When members of the chapel didn't buy that, they then spread the story of Father Perez writing the purported letter prior to his hip surgery in March 2021, when he was in enormous pain and didn’t know if he’d make it through surgery.
3. The latest version now includes two corrections or additions
3a. They now claim that he was not in enormous pain but rather in “reasonably good health.”
3b The addition of Father Perez’s grieving sister having a copy of the purported letter.
Those of us who were blessed to have known Father Perez, know that he was a straightforward person who said what he thought. At times he was even known to be blunt. If Father Perez truly had written any letter in case of his unexpected death, he would have been straightforward. If Father Perez did not want Father Starbuck to take his place as head of the chapel, he would have made that clear to Father Starbuck and to others. He did not do so.
Father Perez’s death was totally unexpected, and at the time of the writing of this purported letter he would not know if his sister would pre-decease him or not. It makes no sense whatsoever that he would supposedly give only one copy to one person.
If any such letter actually existed, Father Perez would have given a copy to Father Starbuck and several key members of the parish, but not to the four school board members because that would appear to be an obvious conflict of interest. (Look we found this letter which gives us total control!)
The following have yet to be verified:
Whether this purported "letter" actually exists or not,
whether this purported "letter" was actually written by Father Perez or not,
whether this purported "letter" was ever in the hands of Father Perez's sister or not.
Given the earlier versions of the school board’s stories, strong reasons exist to doubt their veracity.
Another unanswered question is why has the school board has repeatedly covered up for Wiest?
He has repeatedly and adamantly refused to produce his drivers’ license.
He has repeatedly and adamantly refused to produce papers of ordination.
He was presenting himself as a layman six months prior to arriving at OLHC. (Photo evidence)
He had a pagan altar in his home. (Photo evidence).
Father Starbuck had originally been asked by Father Perez to follow up with the school board as to why they refused to properly vet Wiest. After the untimely death of Father Perez, Father Starbuck continued to comply with Father Perez’s directive. For doing so, the school board struck back by circulating lies about Father Starbuck. Knowing that chapel members had been previously wounded by admitted pedophile and laicised Father Colletti, our good Father Starbuck persisted. As a last resort, he eventually addressed the problem from the pulpit, asking the school board to do their due diligence. That was at the 7:30 Mass. He then heard confessions prior to the next Mass.
While confessions were in progress, one school board member went to the next person in line and told her that she was the last confession. Then he went to the outside confessional door. (Did he wait until she was findished?) Then he yanked the confessional door open and screamed at Father Starbuck not to mention the problem again from the pulpit. The same school board member then unplugged the mike so no one could hear the sermon.
Why is the school board attacking Father Starbuck and why are they refusing to vet Wiest? They have continued to support Wiest financially, while at the same time they cut off financial support for Sister te Deo, kicking her out of her home right before Christmas. Likewise, after leading Father Starbuck to believe that he would continue to serve the chapel for a period of time, they abruptly told him on Dec. 23 that he would not be saying Masses on Christmas, he was on “vacation” and he would be “arrested for trespassing” if he set foot on the property.
For good measure, the school board attempted to set up Father Starbuck by having a person plead with him that they needed to get something out of Father Starbuck’s locked private office on the property and would he please go with them to OLHC. He is a kind priest always willing to help, but Our Lady protected him. (It's obvious, given their track record that had he agreed to the person's request, he would undoubtedly have been arrested for trespassing and they would have taken photos in order to further humiliate him.)
The school board also. cut off financial support for Father Starbuck. They instructed chapel members to send all checks, including Mass offerings to Mary Lewis, who designated herself to decide how much of the Mass offerings to keep and how much to pass on to Father Starbuck.
The school board have proven themselves to be untrustworthy.
Please join us in saying the 54-day Rosary Novena to Our Lady of the Rosary for the rot to be rooted out of the chapel and for the protection and guidance of Father Starbuck. Janurary 27th will be day 27, and then we will begin our prayers of thanksgiving.
