    • Does anyone have more info about this wonderful hero? He rescued 4 children from the sea but he drowned!!  The supreme sacrifice...Was he a "Resistant"? I know nothing about Fr. Joseph Ortolano, sorry. After the Funeral there was a Guard of Honor too!  Anyway, many got to see and hear a Requiem Mass. R.I.P. +

Sanctity of life will be held in derision even by those who outwardly profess it, for in those days Our Lord Jesus Christ will send them not a true Pastor but a destroyer."  St. Francis of Assisi
