Fr. Leonard Calegari

Six years, Fr. Len, and I still miss you like it was yesterday! I know that you're enjoying Heaven and I hope to see you when I finally get out of Purgatory and get there. Til we meet again!!!

To the Calegari Family
On behalf of My Wife and Kids, my Brothers and Sisters and their spouses and children of which Fr. Cal Baptized all 22 kids. Please accept our condolences. Father was a wonderful human being.

Father Len baptized my son Joseph in 1995 at St. Peter's in Pacifica. My husband AJ and I had the best time with him during our year long pre-marriage counseling. He was so real and easy going. Father Len will be deeply missed.
