Fr. John surgery update
As many of you know, Fr. John had surgery on his right leg on Tuesday as a result of the fall he had recently. I was able to speak with him a few minutes ago and I'm pleased to report that he said he is doing well all considered. His doctors feel that the surgery went well and while he has been in a great deal of pain, he is feeling better today.Unfortunately he is not able to access TRF at Piedmont Hospital (ATL). Therefore, he is is not able to visit with us. Please continue to keep John in your thoughts and prayers, Bill P.
