People prayed in the hometown of former Santa Fe Archbishop Robert Sanchez Friday night.
A small group gathered outside San Miguel Mission Church in Socorro to remember the 77-year-old who passed away on Friday.
Sanchez was baptized there and performed many baptisms at the church.
Gene Romero said her daughter was baptized by Sanchez in 1960.
Friday night Romero told KOB Eyewitness News 4, “My daughter was getting baptized when he first came back from Rome. And we named her after him. His name is Robert and we named her Roberta. She was 19-days-old at the time. He is going to be very well missed and I’m fortunate to have known him.”
