Dear Rev. Condon,

Words cannot describe how grateful my family and I are for all of your support and kindness shown towards my grandmother. She befriended many but spoke of only a few, one of which was you. I know she rests in peace because of the guidance you granted to her during her last days.

Hi Dennis:

Although its been a whirlwind since the ceremony between traveling and starting a new job, I want finally
get to that which is long overdue and thank you so much for your outstanding service you provided for our
wedding. Lisa and I are, and will remain, sincerely grateful for the words you chose and the sincerity with
which you presided over our ceremony. You were a perfect compliment to the type of ceremony we
desired. So, thank you so much from both of us for the spiritual, caring and professional manner in which
you conducted yourself, the wisdom of what you expressed, and your flexibility (as I know it had to be at
least a touch concerning on your end with the lack of detail coming from me at times).

Thanks again and God Bless.

From Jeffrey and Sylvia Walz, married June 20, 2008
Renaissance Hotel in Oak Brook, Illinois

Dear Rev. Condon,

Thank you so much for officiating at our wedding. You made our ceremony so personal and unique. It was absolutely beautiful. I received many praises from my guests. And thank you for giving a blessing before dinner. And great touch with the chinese saying! It was so nice of you to stay for the reception. We will remember you always. Thanks again for everything. Much love, Jeffrey & Sylvia Walz

( Note: Just a a point of explanation: whenever I give a blessing at the reception, I always end with "Bon Apetit". However if there is a predominant language or culture with the couple I try to substitute the Bon Apetit with a similar expression in the couple's language. Sylvia is Chinese and there were many Chinese people in attendance and although all spoke English I did it in Chinese; thus her reference to the "Chinese saying". )

As part of an article about married priests in the Southtown Star on February 17, 2008:

   Loli and Al DiSanto, of Chicago's Lakeview community, wanted their wedding ceremony to be intimate and out-of-the-norm.
   "We both grew up Catholic and went to Catholic schools, but we didn't have any one church we wanted to go to. And we don't go to church every Sunday," Loli DiSanto said.
   "We thought it would be so romantic to be married on the lake next to the (Adler) Planetarium, but none of the priests we grew up with could marry us outside the church."
   At their caterer's suggestion, the couple hired Condon, who offers an ecumenical, non-judgmental ministry throughout Chicago and Northwest Indiana.
   "For us, our wedding wasn't a Catholic thing," DiSanto said. "It was about our relationship, the union of me and Al and committing our lives to each other. We wanted to get away from the 100-percent Catholic ceremony."
   DiSanto said Condon sent them a packet of premarital information, met with them several times before the ceremony and allayed their pre-wedding jitters.
   "We got to pick and choose and put together our entire ceremony ourselves, and we still get compliments on how beautiful, unique and touching our wedding was," she said.
   Two years later, the couple hired Condon to baptize their daughter Lorelei.
   "We had the baptism outside in the backyard with a fountain and a baptismal candle," DiSanto said.
   "We had just moved into a new house we had built, and we had the house blessed and the baby baptized on the same day."
   DiSanto refers Condon to relatives and friends and said she most likely will call on him again.
   "We spent a lot of time with Rev. Condon, and we're getting to know his wife. He's part of our family now," DiSanto said.
   "It's nice to be able to turn to a priest who's also married and who understands the ins and outs of daily living. Sometimes you can't turn to your parents or in-laws because they are no longer living. So it's nice to be able to turn to a person of faith who is married and can give advice."
