From Mobile Kitchen to Mitre: Bishop Elect’s Food Truck Feeds Body and Soul



Matt McDonald/National Catholic Register

Bishop-elect James Ruggieri of Portland, Maine, is dedicated to hands-on pastoral work. He has been known for driving a food truck on Friday and Sunday afternoons to feed the community of Providence, Rhode Island.

Becoming a bishop wasn’t on the to-do list for Father Ruggieri, ‘but my hope is to know them and to serve them and to love them as best I can.’
