The Miami Herald reported that “Pedro Meurice suffered a lot just as any father would seeing his family divided,” Msgr. Dionisio García Ibáñez, current archbishop of Santiago de Cuba and president of Cuba’s Conference of Catholic Bishops, said in his homily. “But he was also very happy seeing that faith was strengthening and that Christ continued to be proclaimed.”
Archbishop Wenski said that "Death surprised him here in Miami, far from his beloved Santiago. He died as he lived: with a prayer in his lips, the Virgin by his side and Cuba in his heart.”Archbishop Thomas Wensky addresses Resurrection Mass for Monsignor Pedro Meurice Estiú.
