Cardinal Anthony J. Bevilacqua left an estate worth about $375,000 when he died in January and bequeathed nearly all of it to two institutions central to the church he led for 15 years: St. Charles Borromeo Seminary and Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia.
Bevilacqua’s four-page will, filed in Montgomery County, shows he also left $25,000 to his nephew and executor, the Msgr. John Alesandro.
He gave $5,000 to pay for Mass intentions, in minimum $20 increments, at the Diocese of Rockville Center, N.Y., where Alesandro serves. Bevilacqua was born nearby in Brooklyn, and later served as an auxiliary bishop there.
He was 88 when he died Jan. 31 at the Wynnewood seminary, where he had lived since retiring as archbishop in 2003.
