Father Rich Rasi
Catholic
Massachusetts
In 1997, I traveled from Ohio to my hometown in Massachusetts to attend my first DignityUSA Convention. Every attendee was given a stole, and each of us was asked to vest and be vested by another attendee. I was standing next to an imposing stranger who vested me. That stranger turned out to be Father Rich Rasi, a well-known figure in the Dignity community. I felt honored when I learned that Rich had been a presider for Dignity/Boston liturgies for twenty years, and was a co-founder of Dignity/Provincetown.
Unfortunately, Rich died in 2002, but he left behind many whom he had inspired to live "passionate and honest lives".
