"It is a cold January afternoon as Father Richard Conway walks through the neighborhood surrounding St. Peter's Parish in Dorchester like he does every week.
"As he walks, he is constantly stopped by the many people he knows around the block and, in turn, he offers them the Portuguese blessing.
"This regular exercise, often with a police officer by his side, isn't for the 79-year-old's own health. It is meant to diagnose and calm the troubles in his community that might need some spiritual medicine."
A recent NECN report profile Fr. Conway and his ministry.
