Fr. Dan was one of my favorite Pastors at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church. He will be greatly missed.
Father Dan was my pastor the entire time he served at St Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish. He brought me much closer to Our Lord by his spiritual guidance in the confessional and in his pastoral presence at the church. One of the things I loved best about him was that he was totally relatable. He was human, like us all, but he had a heart for Our Lord and he shared his knowledge of God’s “infinite Mercy”and “inexhaustible compassion” with me. Can we wish for anything more in our priests? Rest in the arms of Our Mother and Her Son dear Father Dan.
Father Dan Hamilton was the third pastor at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton parish and his parishioners were his number one priority. I enjoyed working with him through the years and will miss his kindness. When my husband passed away in 2014, he concelebrated with Father Tom Ianucci at his mass. My family will never forget his help and ministry through this time.

Father Hamilton was a wonderful SEAS Pastor. My husband and I worked various ministries during his tenure at SEAS. We were saddened to learn of his passing. He had a great gift of understanding the daily ups and downs of the everyday life in his homily’s, and always put his parishioners first in their time of need. His spirit will surely be missed as he evoked the presence of a simpler time when life was less complicated.
We met Father Hamilton when he was assigned to Saint Mary’s In Fredeticlsburg VA .We felt blessed to have him arrive . When he left Saint Mary’s he was not only missed by us but by many ! Father Daniel Hamilton was a good and kind priest . He was a honest a gentle soul . He had a really good personality . He had a quick wit and could make us all laugh ! He had a total command of scripture and could answer any question . He will be missed . He is now reunited with his dear mother in heaven . Sincerely, Robyn Marie Pirog
My name is Teresa Augustinos Johnson. Danny was a friend of my older brother, Angelo and was the nicest boy that I remember. We are each individuals and that is the way the Lord made us to be. May he rest in Heaven and be at peace with his Lord.
