Father Domingo performed our wedding ceremony on Feb. 5, 1977. I think we might have been his first wedding at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Brownsville, Tx. He was a gracious man and we are sorry to hear of his passing.

You gave me my first confession. I remember being 10 years old and listening to you speak like I was the only one in the church. I have yet to find another priest that can do that. I will always remember you with fondness and love. May you rest in peace, and thank you for being in our lives.

Fr. Estrada was the first priest that fully introduced me to the Catholic religion when he was at Our Lady of Guadalupe Church in Midland. I will truly miss him and he will be missed, but I have faith that I will see him again in the great by and by. May God bless him and keep him safe. To his family: Please know that he was a great teacher and a wonderful inspiration to myself and so many. May God bless and keep you in this time of great sorrow.

Riding on the crest of a mighty move of the Holy Spirit, Father Domingo led the prayer group that met at the Newman center at TSC in the mid 1970's.
Many experienced the presence of God and witnessed signs and wonders there.
Lives were changed. Thank God for Father Domingo!

Domingo was my first pastor after I received salvation. We were together in Kansas City when I was baptized in the Spirit. He was a great teacher, a sensitive leader and a beloved brother. I look forward to seeing him again on that other shore.
