Monsignor Simmons was a very big part of my families lives growing up in Port. From his Knock Knock jokes during the mass, to asking at the end of mass who is from out of town, then telling me when we came back to visit that we are not guests but family. You will be missed by a great deal of people. Love and Prayers to the entire St. Peter's community. The Zirpolo's of Maryland. Peter, Diane, Steven, Patrick and a Big Hug from Marisa
