ABOUT RICHARD PRYCE AND FAMILY
At Cathedral International (The Historic Second Baptist Church)
Richard Pryce was a member of Cathedral International from birth. He grew up singing with the Joy Bell Children’s Choir and was very active in Sunday School participating in Easter, Christmas and Black History Month pageants along with his sisters Kenesha, Addisabeth, brother Jahmal and cousins Handel and Cary Pryce. Bishop Donald Hilliard, Jr., dedicated and baptized Richard.
Cathedral International (The Historic Second Baptist Church) is grateful for the opportunity to serve three generations of this family as his grandparents Mr. Vincent and Mrs. Ina Pryce joined early in Bishop Hilliard’s pastorate. They were members of the Gospel Choir, Usher Board and various other ministries in the church.
Richard was a graduate of Middlesex County College, Rowan University and was preparing to enter graduate school to pursue a Master’s Degree. Richard was very active in the community of Perth Amboy and loved by all who knew him.
Please join us in praying for the Pryce family and friends.
