Paralytic ordained priest.
Title
Paralytic ordained priest.
Description
Text transcribed from caption: C-30977 PARALYTIC ORDAINED PRIEST METZ, France -- Father Valentin Schwaller, 33, paralyzed from the waist down, is ordained by Bishop Paul Joseph Schmitt of Metz, France, in the diocesan cathedral. Ten years ago Father Schwaller was a seminarian when he was seriously injured in a motorcycle accident en route to the shrine of Our Lady of Fatima. Almost completely paralyzed, he gradually recovered the use of his arms. A special papal dispensation was required for his ordination. It is expected that his ministry will be devoted to crippled people. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (W-5B-64-NAB)
