The remains of the late Father Luis Quinn were given a hero's welcome in San Jose de Ocoa yesterday. Father Quinn, who passed away earlier this week in Miami, had worked for 42 years in the community where he distinguished himself for his leadership in developing the southwestern mountain region. Thousands of mourners packed the streets to welcome Father Quinn. The government, in honor of Quinn, has declared today as an official day of mourning. Father Quinn's body arrived in Ocoa at around 5pm and from there he was then taken to the San Jose Parish where thousands assembled to give their last farewell. The actual funeral will be held at 10am on Friday. President Leonel Fernandez is expected to attend.
