He was a mentor to so many, a leader, a pioneer who built churches, schools and parishes... and if he read this he would laugh and say he was just an ordinary man.

For anyone in New Orleans or anywhere who knew him or learned from his life and teachings, our mutual friend and mentor Father Francis G. Boeshans has passed away.
