Father Tomas Carey
Church of the Epiphany
Another chance to meet up with Fr. Tomas, between introducing me to parishioners and telling me about the historical significance, Father Tomas Carey also shares where he sees himself within the community and and what is needed at the Policy level for Lincoln Heights to maintain its flavor. We talk historical monuments and the erasure of them from the city. How does this attribute to some of the disappearance of neighborhood history?
