Awesome Guy! Always a great conversationalist, positive attitude, and a caring demeanor. Gone to soon — RIP Fr. Dan.
May the comfort and peace of Holy Spirit brood over every soul in grief at this very sad time. He’ll be sorely missed.
We were truly blessed to have Fr. Dan as our Pastor. He cared for his “human” flock as well as God’s critters whom he blessed each year. His smile will not be forgotten and I know that he and his beautiful voice are now a part of the Heavenly Choir praising God for eternity.
May our Mother Mary bring Fr. Dan to her Son, that he may enjoy the wedding feast of the Lamb!
I am stunned and saddened to see the announcement of condolence for Fr. Redmond on our church website. We were blessed to have Fr. Redmond for 5-years at St. Albert the Great Church. I will always remember him as a kind and loving Priest. May he rest in the arms of our Savior and most Holy Mother, and may his family find peace in knowing how much he was loved by so many.
The angels must’ve sung and danced when they were sent to bring Rev. Daniel P. Redmond home. Now, in the very awesome presence of God, he is experiencing his much deserved rewards. Trusting in the wisdom of the Holy Spirit, a new leader will be found to fill the great void Fr. Dan left behind.
Father Dan is now safely home in heaven and his earthly flock is greatly saddened to let him go so soon. I feel privileged to have been blessed by him as a tribute for Mothers Day. Please accept my condolence for the loss of this esteemed man and our pastor.
Sending love and keeping you all close to our hearts.
Father Dan will be missed. His love of God always shined for me.
Go with God,
Your Sister in Christ

I was Saddened to Hear the News of The Death of a Good Priest Father Dan Redmond! I heard so many Good things about Father Dan Redmond! God bless Father Dan Redmond’s Family
Our deepest sympathies to the family of Fr. Dan and to all those who know and loved him. My wife Katie and I moved to Florida two years ago and have been out of touch. We are so deeply saddened by the loss of Fr. Dan. It was an honor to serve him on past parish councils and to sit with him selling raffle tickets at the annual Parish Festival. Fr. Redmond was truly a devoted priest, friend and the hardest worker, doing God’s work, that I will ever know. May the Angels lead you into paradise; may the martyrs greet you at your arrival and lead you into the holy city, Jerusalem.
