“When I was a little, I wanted to be a garbage man or a priest. Now I’m both. And I’m a really happy man.” – Father Domenic Jose Roscioli

“Paul is always around, riding his bike, eating lunch with the campers,” says Father Dom. “It’s a place where he is left alone, too. Most of the kids have no idea who he is.
“One day he was sitting at lunch having a peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich when a little girl noticed his face on a carton of ‘Newman’s Own Lemonade.’ She looked at the picture on the side of the carton, then at Paul next to her, back at the carton, then once more at Paul.
“Then she got it. ‘Are you a lost boy?”
