We thank God that the surgery on Pope Leo was, by all accounts, successful, and that he continues his recovery and recuperation. I know that I join with people from all corners of this archdiocese, across the country, and around the world in keeping the Holy Father in our prayers.
Sincerely Yours in Christ,
† Most Reverend Ronald Hicks
Archbishop of New York
