Patricio Guillen, a retired Roman Catholic priest who served throughout the Inland Empire during a career that stretched from 1957 to 2012, has died at 89. Guillen was active in social issues, ministering to farmworkers and in 1986 helping establish Libreria Del Pueblo, a nonprofit San Bernardino agency that serves the Latino immigrant community. In 2016, he was appointed “Padrino de Honor” of LEAD (Latino Education and Advocacy Days), a yearly educational summit focused on empowering Latino students held at Cal State San Bernardino. Enrique Murillo, LEAD executive director, called Guillen a “community giant and pillar who contributed in the fields of education, civil rights, justice for human rights, preservation of the arts, journalism, youth leadership development and political awareness.”“We have lost a dear friend, prophet, and valued pillar of our community,” Murillo said.
