White Mass honors caregivers

Amber Waterman/Sun Journal

Churchgoers celebrate the White Mass in honor of health care professionals and caregivers at the Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul on Sunday in Lewiston. The White Mass coincides with the World Day of Prayer for the Sick on Feb. 11. Since 1992, the Catholic Church has celebrated World Day of Prayer for the Sick to remind the faithful to pray intensely for the sick, reflect on and respond to human suffering, and to recognize and honor all persons who work in health care and serve as caregivers.
