Where it all started

The iPadre Catholic Podcast Posted on January 26, 2023 by Fr. Jay FinelliJanuary 26, 2023 2

Here is a newspaper article about my web design in the early days. The newspaper is from 1996. I spent many late nights, early mornings, typing all kinds of information not websites and using html. I started with a personal website, parish website, and the original diocesan website. So much has changed. Now I do it all the lazy way with WordPress. I like some of the changes but really dislike a lot of them. In those days there were few of us and only personal pages. No business had a website and when I stated building the diocesan website they thought I was crazy. “This is only a fad.” “In a few years the won’t be a World Wide Web.” They were all wrong. I’m are still here today with about a dozen websites. As I thought then, I still think now. We have to embrace technology for the spread of the Gospel. Unfortunately, liberals, heretics and perverts have also embraced it and now they control it. “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations…”

Happy Easter!

I will carry you and your intentions to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass during this holiest of days. Below, some pictures of my trip to the Holy Land taken on January 17, 2020 in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher.

Laser Jet Toner

The iPadre Catholic Podcast Posted on March 3, 2022 by Fr. Jay FinelliMarch 3, 2022  

I’m just so tired of being ripped off for Laser Jet Toner. For years, I have been using HP Color LaserJet printers. And dread every time that flashing warning comes on telling me to replace one of the cartridges. It almost feels cheaper to replace the whole printer. At least you get the cartridges and the latest technology.

As I was doing some printing yesterday, my printer stoped printing and the warning started flashing “Change Magenta Cartridge.” And the led shows the other cartridges being closed to empty. Here we go again.

This time, I decided to go against the official warnings of the big tech companies. “Using toner from unauthorized sources can damage your printer.” At this point, I really don’t care. I’m tired of being held with the HP gun against my head. So I went to DuckDuck Go for suggestions. From there, I just went to Amazon. And after a lot of reluctance, I took the dive.

Normally, I just drive around the corner to Staples. It so convenient. You need ink right now, you come home with it in 15 minutes. Not this time! No, I’m not doing it.

Here is the comparison of prices:

  • Staples – 1 Black, 1 Cyan, 1 Magenta and 1 Yellow all for a low price of $573.00
  • The HP website is pretty much the same
  • Greensky Remanufactured (Amazon) – 2 Black, 1 Cyan, 1 Magenta and 1 Yellow for a topping $69.70 with overnight Prime shipping

(There were many other deals on Amazon)

Thank you Greensky! I’ll never go back to the big tech rip off. Here are a few pics.

Simple packaging.
All 5 cartridges
Here is a printer text page. As good as the original.

I have a diagnosis… where to go from here?

The iPadre Catholic Podcast Posted on October 8, 2021 by Fr. Jay FinelliOctober 8, 2021 6

For the past 8+ years, I have been dealing with a voice issue. I saw two local ENT’s, I have a voice therapist, physical therapist and have seen my own doctor. It was finally decided that I should go to Boston. Boston is the Mecca of medicine. They are known to have many of the best physicians in their fields. So, this past Thursday I made the trek to Mass Eye and Ear to see a laryngologist.

Many of you have been praying for me. And I want to share with you the doctor’s diagnosis. He said that I have dysphonia. Dysphonia is a rare condition that effects the voice, making it sound hoarse, rough, raspy, strand, weak, breathy or gravely. It can either gradual or sudden. It involves a problem with the vocal cords. There is no explanation of what causes this abnormality and there is currently no cure. However, it can be treated through injections and voice therepy.

I have been undergoing voice therepy for 8+ years. I will return to Boston for a followup evaluation and discuss options.

As I said, there is no permanent cure for dysphonia. However, God can work a miracle. And, my friend Eileen George needs miracles for her future cause (God willing).

Eileen George was a wife, mother of 8, grandmother and great grandmother. She was a woman who had many supernatural gifts that are the like of Padre Pio and Catherine of Siena. Eileen began attracting priests who sought her counsel as when she was in her early 30’s. Eventually, under obedience to her spiritual director Fr. Raphael Simon, and Bishops Bernard Flanagan and Timothy Harrington of the Diocese of Worcester, and the permission of her husband, Eileen was sent forth with a teaching ministry that lead her throughout the world. Her preaching was confirmed by countless healings and miracles. Eileen’s ministry continues today to promote Eileen’s teachings on God the Father and a return to the Sacraments.

I’m asking you to continue to pray for a healing of my voice through the intercession of Eileen George. If you would like more information about Eileen or a copy of the prayer, please visit our website.

An Urgent Appeal For Your Assistance

The iPadre Catholic Podcast Posted on August 20, 2021 by Fr. Jay FinelliAugust 20, 2021 15
Fr. Finelli and Eileen George

I’m writing for your prayers. For the past 8+ years, I have been dealing with a voice ailment. I have been seeing a voice patholagist on and off since 2013, and a physical therapist for the past two months. During this time, my voice has recovered and relapsed on several occasions. My doctor recently stated: “You are a professional, Father. You need your voice.” After which he prescribed a muscle relaxer. Again, I can have an almost perfect voice for part of a Mass and later go several days of degradation.

For this reason, I am asking your assistance in joining me in pleading with my friend, Eileen George, to pick some flowers from the field and “send them to earth,” that “they will turn into graces and blessings” of healing of my voice. At the end of this novena, I will consume the last few drops of Eileen’s “healing wine” that she gave to me many years ago. And I will offer the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in thanksgiving for graces received, and for all who joined me in this novena. I need my voice, and Eileen needs to provide miracles. The Father promised that the healings and miracles would be more numerous and powerful after her death. And please, pray for my voice only through the intercession of Eileen George so that if God’s grants our plea, we will know that it came through Eileen’s intercession.

The novena will begin on September 2nd and end on September 10th. I will celebrate a Mass of thanksgiving for graces received and for all who have joined me in this novena at 5:00 pm on September 10th.

You can find find a link to the Prayer For the Intercession of Eileen George in 12 languages here. If you would like a prayer card in English, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian or Korean, please write to us at:
