Peter Rinaldi – Blessed Philip Rinaldi as I knew him

Father Philip Rinaldi was my granduncle on myfather’s side. For us youngsters he was the tall, smiling priest who, when visiting our home, would dig into his pockets and invariably come up with all sorts of goodies.

He was, as I remember, like a ray of sunshine, and his visits were always a feast.
