Fr. Matty, a native of Ohio, was ordained on May 28, 1983 for the Society of Mary. He came to the Catholic Diocese of El Paso in 1986 and was the founding executive director for the Diocesan Migrant and Refugee Services. In 1993, Fr. Matty was named the first priest of St. Frances Xavier Cabrini. When Bishop Raymundo Pena moved from the Catholic Diocese of El Paso to Brownsville in 1995, Fr. Matty was elected as administrator of the El Paso diocese until Bishop Armando X. Ochoa was appointed in 1996. Fr. Matty was appointed rector of St. Patrick Cathedral on July 1, 1997. Fr. Matty's funeral took place on July 20 at St. Christopher Church in Rocky River, Ohio. Many Priest and friends form El Paso went to his funeral. An Amazing thing happened. A Parish member attending the funeral brought a jar of El Paso soil to be buried with Fr. Matty. Thank you! |
Fr. Richard Matty; we will miss you! |
