A priest escorted his sister as Homecoming Queen — and his post went viral!

Father Max Gallegos, a priest from Birmingham, Alabama, escorted his sister, Kelly, during her coronation as the 2026 Fort Payne High School Homecoming Queen. Gallegos shared photos of the event on Instagram, showing him walking with his sister across the football field as she wore a crown, a sash, and a black dress while carrying flowers.

The priest's social media post, which included a joke about his own dress, received more than 70,000 likes. Kelly responded to the post by stating that having her brother there both as a sibling and as a priest made the memory more meaningful.
