We continue honoring our priests. In this file photo, our priests show solidarity as they come together in prayer Sept. 2009 for the funeral Mass of Fr. Tony Perez. At this time every year and at Christmas Fr. Tony would return to his home island from St. Mary’s Seminary in Baltimore, to teach theology courses.
