Bishop Emeritus Dimarzio Leads Mass On Feast of St Peregrine, Prays for Cancer Patients
The Diocese of Brooklyn prayed for cancer patients, holding a Mass on the feast day of St. Peregrine, the patron saint of those affiliated with cancer, on Wednesday, May 1. Brooklyn Bishop Emeritus Nicholas DiMarzio anointed the sick while leading the Mass at Sacred Heart of Jesus Church in Bayside, Queens. During his homily, Bishop DiMarzio said there was nothing wrong with the people of faith praying for Saint Peregrine's intercession to find a cure for cancer. He explains the 13th-century saint is here to help. Those present were also able to venerate a first-class relic of St. Peregrine, a fragment of his bone. There will be another opportunity for faithful and their families fighting cancer to pray for St. Peregrine's intercession. Auxiliary Bishop Emeritus and cancer survivor himself, Bishop Raymond Chappetto, will celebrate a Mass of healing on Tuesday, on May 7 at St. Joseph Church in Astoria at 43-19 30th Ave. The Mass is expected to begin at 7:30 PM.
