His brother, Father Louis Gigante is a well loved priest in the South Bronx who served at St. Athanasius on Tiffany St. and So. Blvd.

Many people criticized Fr. Gigante, he was head of a nonprofit group called the"South East Bronx Community Organization" & helped build hundreds of units of low-income housing...not projects, little homes.

Many "poverty pimps" took "War on Poverty" monies and ran. Some say Gigante may have given construction bid tips to "friends", but I am personally acquainted with not a few, "briefcase carrying lowlife vultures" who stole federal moolah. At least Fr. Gigante tried to make a difference.

Oh yeah...he, uh...well, he did always claim his brother was retarded...nobody's perfect!!!
