Radio Interview: Mass on the MV Dali

Baltimore Auxiliary Bishop Adam J. Parker and Andrew Middleton, director of the archdiocesan Apostleship of the Sea, visited the stranded ship MV Dali May 1 at the site of the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, to bring care packages and visit the crew. Bishop Parker celebrated Mass for some of the Catholic members of the crew, who are all from India. The crew has remained on the ship since it struck a main support of the bridge in the early morning hours of March 26. The bridge collapsed within seconds, causing eight road workers on the span to fall into the river. Two survived, and the body of the last of the six who died was recovered May 7. Catholic Review Editor Christopher Gunty talked with Bishop Parker about the experience of getting onto the ship and the importance of praying for the crew, their families and those who died in the accident.
