Sacraments on the Sea: Priests Offer Pastoral Care for Cruise Goers

Father William Reynolds, a retired priest of the Diocese of Davenport and current administrator of Sacred Heart Church in Newton, Iowa, is a cruise-ship chaplain who offers Mass and pastoral care on the seas. Seafaring chaplaincy is possible through membership in the Apostolate of the Sea of the United States of America that works closely with the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
