The John Maciolek Post offers the Four Chaplains Mass each year in St. Patrick Church, 64 Pearl St., Enfield, CT. The USAT Dorchester was torpedoed by a German sub on February 3, 1943. As it went down, four chaplains helped others get off & gave up their life jackets. Here is a quote from a survivor: "As I swam away from the ship, I looked back. The flares had lighted everything. The bow came up high and she slid under. The last thing I saw, the Four Chaplains were up there praying for the safety of the men. They had done everything they could. I did not see them again. They themselves did not have a chance without their life jackets."
