New Bishop Nunes: His siblings tell their favorite stories
Bishop Brian Nunes’ siblings knew that he was pretty active in their local church and Catholic school growing up, but they were at different levels of surprise when he told them he wanted to become a priest.
“To be honest, I never expected it,” said his sister, Denise Johnson. “I did not see Brian becoming a priest.”
“I was surprised, but kind of not surprised,” said his sister, Anne Nunes. “It kind of made sense. Because I know how involved he’d always been in the church. But at the same time, he’d gone to college, he had a career.”
“I have to say I thought it would’ve been earlier,” said his brother, Michael Nunes. “The grandparents and schoolteachers kind of always assumed he was going to be a priest.”
