Father Tsigas was such a symbol of faith and love. Our family attended both the Dover and Randolph churches. Father Tsigas was such a special priest. I was not Greek, yet he always accepted me! He christened both our children and was the most devoted and genuine priest I have ever met. In July 1977, our youngest son who was 2 years old at the time, became seriously ill, with a rare disease. Father Tsigas would travel daily to Morristown Memorial Hospital to visit and pray for our son and was very devoted to our family at this difficult time. Our son was in a coma, Stage 4. Every time Father Tsigas would come to the hospital and say prayers with holy water, there would be improvements in his condition. We saw "miracles" occur before our eyes. This occurred over and over with Father Tsigas coming every time we asked for him to come. Our son Michael miraculously recovered with no residual effects. We believe a large part was due to Father Tsigas and the great doctors he had. The doctors commented that there was more at work than what they did!!!! Truly Miracles do occur and we feel that Father Tsigas helped to facilitate this Miracle! We are forever grateful to Father Tsigas for his love for us and our family. Father Tsigas also did a church sermon on Michael's recovery. To this day we are forever grateful for his part in this miracle. Michael actually was able to visit with Father Tsigas in the Orlando area a few years ago. So happy they were able to reconnect after all these years.
