ADVERTISEMENT CORONAVIRUSPublished 1 hour ago NYC pastor dies from coronavirus, becoming first US Catholic priest to succumb to diseases

The beloved pastor of a New York City church has become the first Catholic priest in the United States to die from the coronavirus.

The Rev. Jorge Ortiz-Garay, 49, served as a pastor of St. Brigid's Church in Brooklyn. He died Friday at a hospital, the diocese said.

The coronavirus has killed nearly 1,000 people in New York State, which has become the U.S. epicenter of the disease with a growing surge of cases.

“This is a sad day and a tremendous loss for the Diocese of Brooklyn,” said Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio, the head of the diocese.

You don’t understand do you?
We pray for things to happen AS GOD WILLS

We don’t pray to win the Lottery
Or to live longer
