Vatican News recognizes LA Catholics prayer video for pope’s health
What began as a spontaneous online call for prayers from the Archdiocese of Los Angeles ended up becoming part of the Vatican’s own coverage of Pope Francis’ long hospitalization.
It was Feb. 25 when the archdiocese’s social media channels first invited followers to reply with videos expressing prayerful support for the pope. Chief Digital Officer Sarah Yaklic wasn’t expecting such a quick response.
“Within two minutes, we had our first video,” Yaklic told Angelus. “It showed the true outpouring of the faithful wanting to pray together as a community for the pope.”
