Father Ralph P. Federico

Something that the obituary did not mention was all Fr. Federico did to preserve the Traditional Latin Mass in the Buffalo Diocese. He was the first priest here to obtain a celebret and offer the Tridentine Rite under the first indult.

I am sure that fellow members of the Latin Mass community, Una Voce Buffalo, and many other souls are most grateful to Father, so deeply devoted to the Sacred Liturgy and a true son of Our Lady.

Requiem aeternam dona ei Domine, et lux perpetua...

As a child my siblings and I played with the nieces and nephews of Fr. Federico. I remember many times being at the Centner home when Fr. was there and what a kind person he was. My condolences to the entire family. He will be remembered with fondness. You are in my prayers. God bless you.

Father Federico was a mans man and a priestly priest. To know him was to love him. May he rest in peace as he goes home to God.

Our condolences to Fr. Federico;s family.
Fr. Federico was a priest we admired, a priest's priest. Requiem aeternam dona ei, Domine, et lux aeterna luceat super eam.
