Fr. Padillo



Fr. Padillo in 1962 braving the streets amid sniper fire, to offer last rites to the dying, the priest encountered a wounded soldier, who pulled himself up by clinging to the priest's cassock, as bullets chewed up the concrete around them. Despite the ongoing sniper fire, Fr. Padillo continued to walk among the dying giving Last Rites.
