Congressman Panetta on the Passing of Bishop Richard Garcia

July 12, 2018

My family and our neighbors on the central coast of California mourn the passing of Bishop Garcia. He was not just a man of God, but also a man of the people. He served all nationalities and stations in life, including those with special needs, the poor, the incarcerated, and migrant workers and refugees who recently came to the United States. Bishop Garcia's deeds, teachings, and his compassion were a blessing to this world. He will be dearly missed.
