Grounds blessed and broken ahead of construction of new Mercy institute

OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) - Mercy broke ground on what they call a game-changer for gastrointestinal care, a new facility dedicated to digestive health. The name of the institute holds a special honor.

"And may almighty God bless the ground and all who will work and be serving here. In the name of the father and of the son and of the holy spirit," said Reverend Jimmy James, as he sprinkled holy water on the grounds.
