How do I contact you while you’re away?

How can I contact you, Fr. Trask?

I will be away on sabbatical from September 7th through Thanksgiving 2025. During my absence, Fr. Robert Kraig and Fr. Frank Kosem will cover weekend Masses; they, along with three other priests, have said they will make themselves available to help cover any funerals that might arise during while I am on sabbatical in Rome.

Should you need to contact me while I’m away, you may utilize one of the methods identified below. The best times to attempt contact might be between the hours of 8AM & 3PM (Cleveland time) – remember, Rome is Cleveland time plus 6 hours.

email	Click here to send Fr. Trask an email	As I will have internet access, this method will provide me with a timely way to stay in contact with you. I will reply as my schedule permits (click here to see my schedule).
USA cell	440.987.9873	You’re welcome to call and leave me a voicemail – though calls made after 3pm Cleveland time will automatically go to voicemail since that’s 9pm Rome time. Please be mindful of the time differential when calling – or when hoping for a returned call. ALSO, because my phone will be roaming while in Europe, I’ll likely only take or return calls when I have a stable WiFi connection.
Italian Cell	In Italy, I can be reached at: +39.320.442.1046 or +39.320.415.3313 (From a USA landline, dial 011 in place of the plus; from a cell phone, press & hold the zero to enter a +)	We are WAY too connected in the 21st century, but I’m going with it. These are two Italian numbers at which you may also try to reach me – if need be.
