Jul 2020“The work of priests, that of visiting the sick, in hospitals or wherever they are, is a task that committed priests and lay people are willing to continue to do, taking all the necessary precautions”, said metropolitan Archbishop of Mérida and apostolic administrator of Caracas, Cardinal Baltazar Porras.
