HOMESTEAD, Fla. – More than a decade ago, a woman took Daniel Todaro’s measurements to make him a Santa Claus suit. He was to wear it while doing service as a member of a global Catholic fraternal service order.
Todaro said he first wore it when a priest at The Our Lady of Charity National Shrine in Miami asked him to. Over the years, he has had photographers and others offer him jobs to wear the red suit, but he said he has always declined to do so because that wasn’t its purpose.
