To the Editor:
On Friday, Jan. 1, our brother-in-law, Tony Galietti, was in critical condition due to COVID. The hospital in North Jersey where he was receiving his care informed our family that no priests were allowed to administer last rites due to COVID restrictions.
On our way back to LBI that evening, we called St. Francis and spoke to one of the friars to see if we would be able to administer last rites since we are both eucharistic ministers.
