Dear Editor: I would like to acknowledge the one-year anniversary of Father Wlad Kubrak as a parish priest at Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Astoria. I find his sermons and perspective on life very refreshing because he is open and honest.

He too finds it difficult to be Christ-like, and this revelation allows people to connect with his sermons.

He is also a very humble man who is not afraid to tell it like he sees it.
