February 3 is Four Chaplains Day in the USA. This day commemorates the events of February 3, 1943,
when the troop ship USAT Dorchester sank. Dorchester le New York on January 23, 1943, carrying 4
chaplains and about 900 others as a part of convoy of three ships.
It was torpedoed by German submarine U-223 off Newfoundland at 12:55 a.m. When Dorchester
began to sink, four chaplains of different religions, George L. Fox (Methodist), Alexander D. Goode
(Rabbi), Clark V. Poling (Bap st) and John P. Washington (Catholic) were helping to calm down the
passengers and organized an orderly evacua on. The life vests were passed out to men, but the
supply ran out before each man had one.
The four chaplains gave their own life vests to others and helped as many men as they could into the
boats, then they linked their arms together, saying prayers and singing hymns, went down with the ship.
Four chaplains were posthumously awarded the Purple Heart and the Dis nguished Service Cross on
December 19, 1944. Congress a empted to confer the Medal of Honor on the chaplains, but was
prevented by strict requirements of heroism in combat and under fire, which the Dorchester was
not.
Because of this, the Four Chaplains’ Medal was introduced by Congress on July 14, 1960. It was
authorized as posthumous Special Medal for Heroism, awarded by President Eisenhower in 1961; it
was intended to have the same weight and importance as the Medal of Honor. Congress established
February 3 as Four Chaplains Day in 1988. This day is observed with official proclama ons and,
some mes, flags flying at half-mast.

called: ‘Forgiven: The Transforming Power of Confession’. This will enrich our peniten al
season, helping us to more fully humble ourselves as we approach the great gi of the
sacrament of Mercy.
Another Lenten tool offered by Formed is the audio medita ons ‘Tears of Christ’ that are
beau ful reflec ons of Christ’s suffering by St. John Henry Newman.

                          San Blas era conocido por su
                          don de curación milagrosa.
Salvó la vida de un niño que se ahogaba al trabársele
en la garganta una espina de pescado. Este es el origen
de la costumbre de bendecir las gargantas el día de su
fiesta el 3 de febrero. Según una leyenda, se le acerca-

males para los juegos de arena en el bosque de Argeus
y encontraron muchos de ellos esperando fuera de la
cueva de San Blas. Allí encontraron a San Blas en ora-
ción y lo arrestaron. Agrícola trató sin éxito de hacerle
apostatar. En la prisión, San Blas sanó a algunos prisio-
neros. Finalmente fue echado a un lago. San Blas para-
do en la superficie, invitaba a sus perseguidores a ca-
minar sobre las aguas para demostrar el poder de sus
dioses, pero ellos se ahogaron. Cuando San Blas regre-
só a erra fue torturado y decapitado.
