This one's for the Kildea family! Joe wrote to me and suggested a piece on Monsignor Michael Patrick McCorristin. If you know Joe or any of the Kildea family, ask them how many hours they spent in back breaking labor helping Monsignor down at his Millville farm, cultivating, cutting, and hauling Christmas trees, and doing other farm chores during the off season. The altar boys referred to in the column were probably the Kildea boys. I wrote this eulogy to Monsignor way back in the 90's. Monsignor was a Priest's Priest. I have so many memories of my experiences with him during my years at St. Anthony that I could write a book. So could countless members of St. Anthony parish who were blessed with being parishioners during his tenure there.

Thanks for the comments Mr. Glover! I read your site all the time.
I'm glad Joe mentioned the Panteleone's. I worked there with Dave plenty of times.
One thing I remember about that place was the food. There was always a big pot filled with hot dogs, and huge block of cheese, and a huge bag that said (I'm not kidding) "Army surplus doughnuts." They were Kaiser rolls with cream poured over them.
Spend a morning hauling trees around and that was a good lunch.
