Senator Jack M. Martins (R-Mineola) recently visited St. Mary's Church in Manhasset to honor Father Anthony Refalo on his Silver Jubilee (25 years) of service as a priest.
Father Anthony served full-time at St. Mary's for nearly ten years before being transferred, but he continued to maintain a relationship with the parish. Even though he has lived in Malta since 1999, he returns twice a year, every year to the place he calls his "second home."
