Brick pastors pray with hospital staff on Holy Saturday
April 12, 2020 at 9:12 p.m.
Father Edward Blanchett, pastor of Visitation Parish, read a prayer, and Father Michael Santangelo, pastor of Epiphany Parish, blessed all while holding a monstrance containing the Blessed Sacrament.
“[It was an] opportunity to actually pray with and for members of the hospital staff,” Father Santangelo said. “It is one thing to tell the staff that they are in our prayers – and it is important to tell them – but to give them the chance to be present while being prayed for was something special for all of us.”
