Here’s a pop quiz for you: can you name the local priest who once appeared on a postage stamp?
He’s Fr. Felix Varela – and his image on a stamp is just one fascinating fact that came up at St. James Cathedral this past weekend. It was for a presentation on this priest who is now on his journey to Sainthood.
It’s part of a series on Brooklyn saints that the diocese is hosting – and as a result, now Fr. Varela becomes part of our series, “Saints in the City.”
