The Rev. John Joseph Nacca

Father Nacca started me as an altar boy when I was 6 years old. I think that's the youngest anyone's started at St. Francis. I can still hear him calling me "Joey". I spent a lot of Sundays and after-schools listening to Father talk about doing good for others and appreciating God's work. He was right. I'll always remember the bus trips and outings. I can still remember what he used to say, "Look, Joey...isn't what God gave us beautiful?" How many of us still remember getting picked up from...

To the St. Francis Family:

About three weeks ago my brother and I visited our uncle Fr. Nacca at the nursing home. While in the common area and seated in a wheel chair he started to talk about you.

While attending St Francis School my older brother, my younger sister, and I made a point to try and see Father every day if we could.

He was a special person who loved God and all his children.
