A police officer has died just days after being blessed by Pope Benedict XVI.
Senior Constable Gary Hill, 53, was taken by stretcher to meet the Pope at his retreat in north-west Sydney on Wednesday.
During the visit, Snr Const Hill was blessed by the Pope, who also blessed a set of rosary beads for him.
"It was just a really wonderful time where His Holiness blessed Gary, one of our faithful servants of the community here in NSW ... he has made Gary's day," NSW Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione said after the meeting.
In a touching moment, the pontiff donned Snr Const Hill's police hat and reportedly kept it after mistaking it for a gift.
Snr Const Hill died earlier today in hospital in Lismore, on the far north coast of NSW. |
