The healthcare ministry of our Church continues even in this time of pandemic. Witness Father Edmund Afagbegee, SVD, Chaplain at St. Bernardine Medical Center.

“As we live through this difficult moment with the threat of the coronavirus in our communities, we are called to seek new ways to be together.”
