Bishop Edward B. Scharfenberger will celebrate the annual White Mass for Health Care Workers on Saturday, Oct. 2, at 4 p.m. in the Coliseum church at the Our Lady of Martyr’s Shrine in Auriesville. Doctors, nurses, pharmacists and other health care professionals are invited to attend the liturgy, which is co-sponsored by the St. Luke’s Guild and the Roman Catholic Diocese of Albany.
