Alessandro Baccari Jr. was not an ordained priest, but that was just a technicality.
He was ministerial in welcoming the flock to the annual Blessing of the Fleet at the Fisherman’s and Seaman’s Memorial Chapel on Pier 45, and he was priestly on a daily basis as he walked the streets of North Beach, visiting shopkeepers and all keepers of the village spirit he’d grown up with.
