Reverend Martin Fisher

My father, James Kubisiak was a resident of Bonaventure Assisted Living in Billings. There he met Father Fisher and when I came to visit my Dad from Portland, Oregon, in February 2012, I met Father Fisher and took an immediate liking to him. He was very friendly and easy to talk with. He tried to encourage my Dad to attend Mass, and would occasionally talk with Dad. I attended one of the Bonaventure "Happy Hours" about a year ago and had a nice time talking with Fr. Fisher. There was something comforting and peaceful about him, and also he was so engaging and interesting to visit with. He made a big impression on me in a couple of short visits and I was very thankful that I had met him. When my Dad died , in December 2012, we asked for Father Fisher to perform the last rites, which he did, even though as I understand it , he himself was not long for this world. I also was gratified that Father Fisher said he knew my Grandparents - Ray and Frances Thomas- from St. Patrick's church in Dickinson. Though I didn't know him long or well, I felt a connection with Father Fisher,and will hold him in my memory and prayers. - Tom Kubisiak, Portland, Oregon

Rest in peace, faithful servant. I remember you well from your work in and around the various parishes in Billings and through the Cursillo/Cum Christo movement. You were a compassionate man of God but you also spoke often when people needed to hear some straight talk in their life's journey and faith journey as well. GOD bless, Fr. Martin.

I met Fr. Martin at Bonaventure where my dad, James Kubisiak, was also a resident. He always stopped to say hello and say a few kind words. The night before my father passed, Fr. Martin administerd the last rites as he promised he would, even though he was not feeling good himself. He was gentle and kind and I always enjoyed talking to him. He will forever be in my thoughts. Rest in Peace, Fr. Martin Fisher.

Although Father Fisher was a substitute at St. Michael's in Absarokee. It was always a treat to have him come and preach to us. He always had very good homilys and was always so complimentry to the music provided for the Mass. Being a Green Bay Packer fan along with Father Greg has got to be plus. God Bless You Father Fisher.
