A Traverse City priest has made many visits to Munson Medical Center during the coronavirus pandemic to spend time and pray with COVID-19 patients.
Fr. Mitchel Roman is now in his second year of being a priest, and found himself thrown into the middle of the coronavirus pandemic, almost from the start, with calls coming from Munson Medical Center for a priest to be with COVID-19 patients.
“Being a priest, even needing to be there in masks and full PPE, it’s still the sacraments and the prayers are still so needed, and they’re very powerful not just for them, but for me to see that even in those dire moments that people are yearning for their spiritual sole to be nourished,” said Fr. Roman.
