And, some Sioux City Council members urge residents to wear masks and protect themselves from the Coronavirus.

We remember a Siouxland priest known to many, who died recently from the Coronavirus. Father John Vakulskas retired a few years ago after serving in parishes across Siouxland. Fr. John was also known for leading trips abroad and bringing God's word to carnival workers.
