St. Patrick’s Cathedral in midtown Manhattan hosted a memorial Mass on May 19 for construction industry workers who died from COVID-19 or worksite accidents in the past year as part of International Workers Memorial Day, which was rescheduled as mask restrictions eased. Clergy and members of the Building and Construction Trades Council of Greater New York paid tribute to 16 accident victims and to those in the industry who died from the virus. Father Brian Jordan, chaplain to the construction trades council, celebrated the Mass.
