Richard, to eternal life. Mass will be celebrated by His Eminence, Timothy Cardinal Dolan, Archbishop of New York. Homily will be offered by Fr. Walter Modrys, SJ, friend of Fr. Richard and his associate in three parishes. Fr. Richard was born on December 22, 1946, and departed this world on April 9, 2020, after 48 years of dedicated service to God as a priest.
