Most Rev. Donald Hying, bishop of the Gary Catholic Diocese, visited and prayed with patients, among them Michael Meeks Sr. of Michigan City, at Franciscan Health Michigan City recently, during a Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick program.
He chatted with the patients and later blessed them and anointed them with holy oil, praying they would be comforted and healed. Meeks and others visited expressed gratitude to Bishop Hying and enthusiastically welcomed his prayers and his presence. He later officiated at a prayer service in the hospital chapel.
