Bishop Nevins was the most loved Bishop by the Hispanic and Migrant population. He listen to their needs and was very well respected. Now he has joined my mother "Corina Hernandez", who he used to call her "Abuela" (means grandmother)along with other "good people" in "Heaven". He touched a lot of people with his gentle smile and kindness during the years and it was time for him to rest. RIP our beloved bishop.
