All Good Things Must Come to an End …but it never feels like the right time….So it is with Father John’s Restaurant. It was conceived in 2012 when I needed to find a way to save the historic 1895 Methodist church. Father John’s gave the old church a new purpose, new meaning, new life - and the church survived! I wanted Father John’s to be a place for community to come together, to break bread with each other, for hearts to be touched, and for people to take that love and share it back with the community. I always said that if you just want to eat a burger or a fish fry, you should probably go somewhere else - Father John’s served love, and it was always a spiritual undertaking for me. With the deepest gratitude, I recognize that it was successful because of each one of you. Much has been celebrated, time shared, and friends made.
Now it’s time for the church to find a new purpose; to achieve a higher vibration.
So it is on this Valentine’s weekend, with our hearts open and loving, we say goodbye for now. She was my conception and passion for the past 14 years. I miss her already… and you all. 🥲
May you be well, happy, healthy, and peaceful.
John Trippy
