COLUMBUS, Ind. — As a priest, Father Christopher Wadelton knows all about helping people through tough times. When one of his parishioners needed a kidney transplant, he wanted to help.
“Ask people around the congregation if they might consider being checked and just by the hand of God it turned out that I was a compatible donor,” he told 13News while sitting on the front porch with Rebeca Barcenas and her two daughters.
“Did you ever believe it would be your priest,” 13News asked. “No,” she answered with laughter.
