    We are saddened that Rev Fr Patrick Crasta passed away. He has been a dedicated Capuchin Priest. We were happy to have him in New York in 2002 and he participated in Christening of my oldest son at Church Of Incarnation, Manhattans, New York City. I met him in December 2023 during Parish Feast of Holy family Church, Brahmavar and he appeared to be cheerful. We din not realize that Fr, Patrick Crasta will leave us so soon. We will remember him fondly. Rest In Peace...

    It's a great loss for all of us. A humble priest. A true follower of Lord Jesus. He followed Jesus in the footsteps of St Francis of Assissi. May father Patrick uncle's soul rest in peace in merciful embrace of the Lord Jesus.
