Testimony of Fr. Kyle Gorenski
Fr. Kyle Gorenski was raised in a Catholic home in Rhode Island. His mother was devout, and she was involved in many ministries in the Church, his father was a Sunday Catholic. He was the 2nd sibling of four brothers. High School was a struggle for Kyle as he had several learning disabilities. He contemplated becoming a priest but found out that it required much more schooling, so he put the thought aside. Kyle chose not to go to college and enlisted in the Army. He had three tours to Iraq and Afghanistan. His self-image improved and he learned not to give up. After two tours, he came home and got a job as a State Highway Patrolman. He enjoyed the job but felt something was missing. Kyle entered the Seminary in Rhode Island, but his grade point was low, and was asked to leave. He pursued his quest to become a priest and applied to many dioceses in New England. The Diocese of Albany, NY, accepted Kyle and he was able to complete his studies despite his low academic prowess, thanks to a parish priest who believed in his calling to the priesthood.
This testimony was given to the Vancouver Magnificat Chapter in June, 2022.

If this is Fr. Kyle that heard confession at St. Anthony’s Friary (Convent) in Catskill, NY on January 18th, 2025, HE WAS AMAZING. As a former lapsed Catholic, confession after 60+ years is difficult. This was my second, couldn’t fit it all in one session, he was what you envision a good priest to be through and through. You felt his compassion and understanding from the moment I entered the room. He’s so impressed me, and in that beautiful convent, ALL WAS GOD. You couldn’t not ignore the power being there and being gifted a wonderful priest as this Fr. Kyle, another Fr. Kyle did the service. He’s young and on his way to building the Catholic Church back to it’s great days. Fr. Kyle G made me feel all was possible, this after decades of being angry with GOD. The anger is gone…meeting Sisters Dorothy & today Sister Catherine, unimaginable kindness, the very best representatives of God that I’ve met in too long. I hope to reach Fr. Kyle G.as I want him as my confessor.
