Fr. Thomas Dominic Kraft, O.P. Memories Website

What a wonderful man. We played music together a few times at the Newman Center in Tempe. I have seen him play several Pilgrim Friars concerts. Such a humble, peaceful soul. It was great to spend a few moments with him here today.

Some of my fondest memories as a child at the Newman Center in Tempe are of Father Tom. It was so powerful to see a Priest come down to the level of a child during his homilies and speak to us kindly and honestly with such grace. I still remember him playing tag with us kids in the court yard after mass once. I still cary that memory in my heart always. Thank you Father Tom for living and sharing your joyful spirit with so many children such as my self.

My wife and I are celebrating our twenty fifth wedding anniversary today and started talking about Father Tom Kraft since he was the one that married us at the Numan Center in Tempe, and were very shocked to learn about his passing over three years ago. We were one, if not the last couples that were married at the Numan Center. We will never forget that day because it was one of the coldest days and the old church had no heat. Father Tom gave us a wonderful service and we have it all on video. God bless you and may you rest in peace. Thank you for everything Father Tom!

In doing this blog and thinking about this stuff, have you ever had any ideas for what kinds of tools (software, that is) that people could use to do things like share creative ideas in groups, create customer community, etc. etc.?

Fr. Tom,
Our time together was too short. We look forward to re-uniting with you in heaven. It was a blessing to have your celebrate our nuptial Mass 15 years ago. We love you. Pray for us.

I miss my dear friend Fr. Tom. I miss the glow of Christ that lived within you. You challenged us to live like the saints. You lived for Christ and always always lead me and many others toward heavenly treasures. I cried tears today because I was stronger when you were here with us. Please watch over all of us and help us to feel your presence in our lives. Help us to make good choices; God choices. I know that I am a much better person because I had you as my friend, if only for a very short while.
God Bless you Fr. Tom on your first anniversary in heaven.
We miss you and will never forget how you changed our lives.

Dear Fr. Tom, I did not meet you face to face on this earth,yet you have touched my life still the same. From all the love that you outpoured to others in the name of our Lord; it surly shows. Our Heavenly Father used you to reach throngs of souls to bring to him and you are that faithful servant. Thank you Father Tom for saying YES. Thank you for touching my life.

What a beautiful tribute to our dear friend, Fr. Tom. On this the day of his birth, it brings a warm rush to my heart remembering him in this special way. Thank you Fr. Tom for the spiritual example you are to all of us. You set many of us on a journey of service and faith and love – we are blessed that you were part of our lives.

Dearest Father Tom was on my mind this morning……
so, I decided to surf the Web for some reminiscent sites
dedicated to him. In God’s Providence & Goodness I came
upon this loving video!! Feeling blessed knowing Father Tom is very
near to us all, in and through our Most Blessed Lord Jesus & our
Most Blessed Mother Mary.
His Peace & Love…………..

Thank you for putting together an enriching and honoring website for Fr. Tom and a true treasure that I will share with my family. Fr. Tom has blessed us each in many ways. He brought me great joy, enriched my faith and He taught me how to serve.

Fr. Tom taught us all a lot about joy, service and prayer.
He was a great priest and example of what it meant and means to be a Dominican friar, which is so much more than living in your head–reading, studying, and writing.
My experience of Tom, here in the USA and in Mexico, was of service and sacrifice… what Jesus did…
He is missed by many.
May we each live our lives the way he did….

I have many memories of Tom over the years, especially when I was out in ministry and he and The Pilgrim Friars would be in concert nearby. In later years, when I would see him at Blessed Sacrament, no matter what he was out there to greet us and extend his welcome He touched so many with his love.

Now I have a place to go to when I miss him and yearn to see him. Thank you.
