To the family of Patricia DiRienzo:
Many weekday St.Paul Apostle parishoners often heard Patricia in her longtime morning Mass lector ministry. By happenstance Father Ronald Franco CSsP. announced Saturday morning after Mass that Patricia's own Mass was being celebrated that very morning in Rochester. He pointed out her usual pew. Announcing a layperson from the Altar is somewhat unusual there because the parish is so huge.
In NewYork City one sees the same people daily, e.g. the man next door who walked his dog, or Patricia, who I never suspected was also from Rochester, only two doors away from 310W56 coming home from church and then suddenly they are there no more 10/22/08
