Souls on their way

Christopher Gunty of the Catholic Review reflected on the death of a longtime friend, Doug, who passed away in September after a battle with cancer.

Gunty and Doug met nearly 50 years ago while living in the same seminary dormitory during their freshman year of college. Although both men eventually left the seminary to become husbands and fathers, they maintained a close friendship. Gunty worked in the Catholic press, while Doug served as a youth minister and an assistant.

Gunty noted that he was able to speak with Doug via video call in the weeks leading up to his death.
