Those who knew Passionist Fr Theodore Foley remember him as a man of deep faith, who was known for his charity, compassion and service.
"He was a very easygoing, gentle man, not at all looking for any kind of office, or power, or prestige," said Passionist Fr Timothy Fitzgerald.
It is that humble nature that Passionists point to when they list the many reasons that Fr Foley should be considered for sainthood in the Catholic Church.
With the formal public announcement of Fr Foley's Cause, people will have the opportunity to learn more about the beloved priest, who led the Passionist congregation as superior general from 1964 until his death in 1974.
