Rev. Fr. Tony Chacko, on November 20th 2014 (Thursday) in Riverbank, CA at the age of 65. He is the priest at St. Frances of Rome Parish, Riverbank, CA and uncle of Manca life member Tina Cheruvelil.

Fr Tony lived quite a life in selfless serving! He was with Mother Theresa for many years, serving different parts of the world. Later he started his own institution for orphans and drug addicted boys in Brazil. He was shot by drug lords since he was removing the drug dealing boys from street and almost died there. Later he came to US and was serving as parish priest in different churches in and around the bay area.
