Terri Schiavo was given last rites and Easter communion after an initial opposition from her stranded husband Michael, while supporters are bringing Terri’s fight to DC.
By previous court order, Terri Schiavo was allowed to receive communion only with the consent of her husband and guardian, Michael Schiavo.
The Schindlers announced to the crowd one Easter victory: Terri received Communion wine after her husband finally allowed her to receive the sacrament.
The Rev. Thaddeus Malanowski held Terri’s right hand as he and hospice priest Rev. Joseph Braun placed the droplet on her tongue. Malanowski also anointed her with holy oil, offered a blessing and absolved her of sin.
