“Deacon Del Leonardo carries three pagers and a cell phone on him at all times.
“It’s a necessity in his work as a full-time evening and overnight chaplain at Mercy Hospital in St. Louis, but Deacon Leonardo doesn’t mind all of the buzzing and beeping coming from his hip. Rather, he sees those as opportunities to be with patients ‘in the moment’ who are critically ill or close to death.”
A recent article in the St. Louis Review profiled Deacon Del Leonardo and his chaplaincy work.

Thank you, Deacon Greg Kandra, for the tip.
