Managing Editor Jeff D'Alessio's weekly feature spotlighting area religious leaders. This week: the Rev. Michael Pica's two-wheeled "Priests Pedaling for Prayers" trip across Illinois. The first time the Rev. MICHAEL PICA pondered a path to the priesthood was during a childhood visit to dear old grandma's house in Abingdon, south of Galesburg, with his four brothers. "My Italian grandmother would always ask us five boys: 'Who in the family is going to be the priest?'" he says with a chuckle.
