Mass commemorating the chaplains’ sacrifice took place at St. Stephen’s Church in Kearney, New Jersey — the last parish where Father John Washington served before being dispatched for war. On Feb. 3, 1943, Father Washington had celebrated Mass just hours before the ship was hit and began to offer absolution. His fellow chaplains exhibited selfless heroism, too.
Father Joseph Verbis Lafleur, who recently received his second Purple Heart and Distinguished Service Medal posthumously, served in the Philippines during World War II.
