SOUTH HADLEY — While the world was honoring U.S. and allied troops on the 81st anniversary of D-Day in Normandy, France, this month, a Holyoke priest was in a small French chapel paying tribute to a fallen, fellow chaplain from Holyoke killed during the invasion.
The Rev. James McCurry, 76, is now back in the Pioneer Valley, praying this week at the grave of the Rev. Ignatius Maternowski in Mater Dolorosa Cemetery, who he honored in France.
