Dinuba priest to lead Harvest Run

At St. Catherine de Siena Catholic Church in Dinuba, Father Raul Diaz, 47, puts on his letterman jacket from McFarland High School where he graduated from in 1987. He's been asked to lead the Visalia Runner's Harvest Run Oct. 3 at The Lifestyle Center in Visalia. During an after-school practice run when he was in high school, his younger sister, Sylvia, and another girl were hit by a car and killed. He draws from his own grief when he minister to others, he said.
