Deacon and physician Ricardo Burgos reads the Gospel at the annual diocesan Mass for medical and healthcare professionals, also known as the White Mass, Oct. 16 at the Co-Cathedral of St. Theresa. Bishop Larry Silva celebrated the liturgy for doctors, nurses, health care providers and their families and friends. The Mass, which coincides with the feast day of St. Luke, patron saint of physicians and surgeons, Oct. 18, was especially significant this year of the coronavirus pandemic when medical and healthcare workers place their lives at risk every day.
