The public is invited to a special Mass commemorating the 14th World Day of the Sick on Saturday, Feb. 11, at 9 a.m. in the St. Joseph’s Hospital chapel in Elmira. Serving as celebrant will be Father Francis J. Erb, one of St. Joseph’s chaplains.
World Day of the Sick is observed on the feast day of Our Lady of Lourdes. It serves as a reminder to pray for the sick; reflect on and respond to human suffering; and recognize and honor those who work in health care and serve as caregivers.
