Man reportedly arrested in killing of Catholic priest from Mass. in Spain
Briefly

A 27-year-old man has been arrested in Spain as a suspect in the murder of Father Richard K. Gross, an 80-year-old priest originally from Wrentham, Massachusetts. Gross was reportedly preparing for a cruise in Málaga when he was fatally assaulted in his apartment on January 20. Witnesses reported hearing screams during the incident, and Gross's death may have been caused by a traumatic brain injury. His life was marked by a long service in education and pastoral work, particularly within Jesuit institutions.
Father Gross was allegedly assaulted in his apartment, leading to a traumatic brain injury and raising questions about the nature of his death.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Father Gross's family, his brother Jesuits, and all those blessed by his ministry and friendship.
