Ebola priest repatriated

Father Manuel Garcia Viejo was working in Sierra Leone with the Hospital Order of San Juan de Dios.

He was helping to fight the spread of the virus in Western Africa when he became ill.

A Spanish military plane was sent to take Father Viejo back to Spain from the Western city of Lunsar. He is the second priest from the country to pick up the illness.

Last month, Father Miguel Pajares, also a member of San Juan de Dios, died days after being diagnosed.

More than 2,600 people have died from Ebola. The virus is spreading across Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia, as well as Senegal and Nigeria.

A Monthly Gift Of $11 Makes A World Of Difference

In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.

Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.

For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.

Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
