Alex Pretti, who was raised Catholic, was an intensive-care nurse at the Minneapolis VA Medical Center, where, for ten years, Father Harry Tasto worked alongside him as a chaplain.

Last night, Father Tasto remembered Pretti at the altar of The Basilica of Saint Mary: “He was known for his kindness and gentleness to patients. So don’t, please, pay any attention to the vilification from our national leaders" (kcbd.com/2026/01/26/pri…)lnkd.in/eu8TC8Jd).See

See my next post, below, for my video on Pretti's Catholic upbringing and how he showed Gospel values in offering his life for another. We should all hope that, when our time comes, we will die as holy a death as Alex Pretti.
