Dear Parishioners and Friends,

FATHER RAPHAEL is still in the ICU at Westchester Medical Center. Early in the week he was sitting up and looking like himself, but on Tuesday evening he had a little setback. He was showing a fever, and they determined that he had some pneumonia, so he is back with breathing tubes and sedation. Wednesday evening the fever was down, and he is stable. They plan to monitor his progress on Thursday, and are considering a proactive tracheotomy procedure for Friday, so he can have the tubes removed and be comfortable speaking. Meanwhile, they also did a COVID test, and he tests negative, so that's good news. Keep the prayers and cards coming: 

Fr. Raphael Iannone
