On January 20, a Catholic priest, Fr Richard K. Gross from Boston, was murdered on the first day of his holiday in the Andalusian city of Málaga, Spain.
His death has left the Catholic community bereft of a remarkable priest. Fr Gross served as a chaplain and pastor at the Newman Center at the University of Connecticut, as well as at Vanderbilt and LaSalle Universities. In his later years, he resided at Boston College High School and frequently celebrated Mass at Our Lady of Good Voyage in Boston’s Seaport. The circumstances surrounding his death remain the subject of an ongoing investigation.
