Father Nicholas Caiazzo
Son of the late Louis and Lucia “Lucy” (Santilli) Caiazzo.  Loving brother of Matilda Judge of Attleboro, Marie Williams and her husband Jerry of Billerica, Rita Constantine and her husband David of Palm Harbor, FL and Louis Caiazzo of Clearwater, FL.  Also survived by many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.  

Father Nick was an outstanding athlete who demonstrated exceptional skill on the baseball field at a young age.  As a pitcher for the Everett High School baseball team he and his teammates went on to capture multiple championships for the city of Everett.  Immediately following his graduation from Everett High School in 1959 he was signed by the Boston Red Sox as a pitcher at the age of eighteen.  After his baseball career, Nick continued his education at Pueblo College in Colorado.

Later in life he found his calling to the priesthood.  He entered the Holy Apostles Seminary in Cromwell, CT where he received his Masters of Theology.  Father Nick was ordained a Catholic priest on May 30, 1992 in the Diocese of Norwich, CT.  He offered his first Solemn Mass of Thanksgiving on May 31, 1992 at his childhood parish, St. Anthony’s Church in Everett, MA.  As a priest he traveled to Medjugorje, Yugoslavia and Assisi, Italy.  He also visited the birthplace of Padre Pio in Italy as well as Bethlehem, Jerusalem, and Nazareth to follow the path of Jesus.  He was devoted to the Holy Scapula and the Blessed Mother.

Some of his lifelong joys were:
Movie buff
Music lover especially Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, and Elvis Presley
He had a beautiful singing voice and often wrote his own songs
Revere and Nahant Beach
Screen Actors Guild member - acting and modeling in New York and California

Our brother, Father Nick, was fun loving, very spiritual and taken from us too soon.  He was very humbled to have been called to the priesthood and  he will be missed by his brother priests, his family, and his friends.   THOU ART A PRIEST FOREVER
