Archdiocese
of Newark Hosts Inaugural Mass for the EMS Community Mass co-chair and EMT instructor Craig Stewart explains that being a member of the EMS community is a mission and a calling. Invitations to the Mass, which he hopes will boost the community’s morale, have been extended statewide to all EMTs, and their family and friends. “At a time when the heroic nature of the work of pre-hospital care providers is being recognized, we gather to celebrate the EMS community,” said Rev. Msgr. Richard Arnhols, Archdiocesan Vicar for Pastoral Life. All personnel in uniform will receive commemorative pins in honor of the occasion. EMTs, EMT-Ps and their family and friends are requested to be seated at 11:45 a.m. for presentation of colors. Secure parking will be available. The committee, headed by retired Weehawken EMT Victor Sanchez and Stewart, is comprised of volunteer, paid, active and retired EMS workers and their chaplains.
