PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) Family and friends in the Philadelphia region are mourning the loss of a beloved priest who died from COVID-19 over the weekend.
By all accounts, he was an inspiration and role model to many seminarians at St. Charles Borromeo Seminary, but also to countless others whose lives he touched.
Augustinian Priest Augustine Esposito, 69, affectionately known by many as Father Gus, was a widely admired religious priest and mentor. He had that warm, inviting way about him, said James Stramberg, principal at Monsignor Bonner & Archbishop Prendergast Catholic High School.
