From Religion Unplugged:
He doesn’t look a day over 104.
James C. Turro turned 104 years old on Jan. 26 — and now is believed to hold the title of oldest priest in the Archdiocese of Newark — and likely the oldest Catholic cleric in all the United States. His long career began while he was still a boy in Jersey City. He was influenced by visiting his aunts, who were nuns, at their convent and by conversations he had with them during family holidays to pursue the priesthood. “They were very much a factor in my formation, he told JerseyCatholic.org. “That seemed to be the thing, you know, to become a religious.”
