WHEELING The Most Rev. Mark Brennan, bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston, will be getting the COVID-19 vaccine and urges others to have faith in the science behind it.
In a letter sent to all parishes in the state, Brennan said, “I plan to get vaccinated when it’s my turn and I strongly urge all Catholics and other residents of West Virginia to do the same when they have the opportunity.
“We must remember that in protecting ourselves through an effective vaccine we are also protecting others. Getting vaccinated, then, is a way of promoting the common good and putting into practice the commandment: Love your neighbor as yourself.”
