From Washington state: <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

The priest at two Tacoma Catholic churches collapsed while celebrating Mass on Tuesday morning from a brain bleed and is not expected to survive.<\/p>\n

The Rev. Michael Wagner, 48, was celebrating the morning Mass at the Church of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary when he fell to the ground with a ruptured cerebral aneurysm and he was taken to a Tacoma hospital, where he remains Wednesday night. Wagner has served as the priest administrator at Visitation Church and Our Lady of the Holy Rosary Church since last June, said Thom Ryng, the liturgy director at Holy Rosary.<\/p>\n

Holy Rosary held a prayer vigil in Wagner\u2019s honor Tuesday night, which Ryng said filled the church at 520 S. 30th St.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe impact on the community has been unbelievable,\u201d Ryng said. \u201cAt the prayer vigil that we held last night, there were people walking around in a daze, just overcome with grief. He hasn\u2019t even been here a year.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s been here nine months and he\u2019s made such a huge impact on people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Well-wishers are asked to contact their respective parishes for information about Wagner\u2019s health status. No visitors apart from immediate family and Seattle Archdiocese officials are allowed to visit him.<\/p>\n

Wagner (pronounced VAHG-ner), as a small boy in communist Poland, asked his mother if he could become a priest, but she said he couldn\u2019t do that because of the country\u2019s official policy of atheism. Nevertheless, his family maintained its faith.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was proud of that story,\u201d said Laurie Halte, the parish secretary at Holy Rosary. \u201cHis family remained Catholic even though they weren\u2019t allowed to be Catholic.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
