Deep dives into the Bible, even when it means fighting with a computer or getting out the salt shaker
He knows the Scriptures. And he’s got a good sense of humor, even if every once in a while he’s a bit grouchy. Aren’t we all?
Fr Simon is like that uncle you see at Thanksgiving. He always tells the same stories and the same jokes, but you love him for it. If you are interested in what the Bible actually says in it’s original language Fr Simon is your guy.
Self deprecating, has a wonderful sense of him our and is very very knowledgeable. His mix of humor, levity and theology without compromising the truth is truly “Pastoral”!!!!!
Have learned so much and am so edified by his faithful Priesthood. Thank you!

The best bible teaching Priest I have encountered, I love his self deprecating humor and the way he teaches the truth in love. If I lived within 200 miles of Skokie I would attend his parish. We need more Parish priests like him in this day of infighting between trads and liberals. He takes such a sound balanced approach and I have learned more from him than anyone since my conversion to the true church, The Holy Roman Catholic Church. Keep going Fr. Simon! We need you.
