Talk about biting the hand that feeds you:
Buffalo nun who worked with ex-convicts found murdered from Catholic News Service
The article mentions Fr. Joe Bissonette who was murdered in 1987.
I remember this incident vaguely as I was a sophomore at SUNY Buffalo in Amherst.
I ran track and cross-country with a Bissonette, a relative, probably a nephew. It seems his name was Matt or Mark. He was a year ahead of me. One or two of his high school teammates were also on UB's squad. He had peer support from mature friendships. I remember him being quietly sad, probably in shock. I think he transferred to another school because I don't remember him much.
I think that the Bissonette name in the Buffalo / Amherst area is well-known, they're a hometown family.
