The Rev. Kevin J. Gray was a popular priest who appeared to live humbly, foregoing a car and walking to Mass from another parish where he lived so that a Catholic charity could use his space at the rectory. Parishioners thought he had cancer and admired how he helped immigrants in his largely poor parish in Connecticut.
