You’ve probably heard of Judge Frank Caprio, the chief municipal judge in Providence, Rhode Island, who is known for his TV show Caught in Providence, as well as for his leniency when dishing out fines.

Despite his 85 years, the judge regularly sits at his bench making wise rulings, full of empathy and compassion. And these decisions have been seen by millions of viewers who tune in to see Caprio really listen to people and their circumstances, and give them a chance rather than condemn them for their unfortunate mistakes.

The unusual style of this father-of-five has not gone unnoticed by one particular priest, Fr. Mark Mastin, from Franklin, Wisconsin. The priest of the Sacred Heart took the time to visit Caprio’s courtroom to drop off the donation of $1,000 to a visibly moved judge.
