Pray for One� Another

��Damian Drass was hospitalized recently following a stroke that occurred during Mass at Saint Joseph Friary in Hollidaysburg, PA.� Damian is making a remarkable recovery.� Prior to the operation to remove the blood clot in his brain, the doctor predicted that Damian would not leave the hospital alive. A day after the operation he was transferred to Health South Rehabilitation Hospital in Altoona, PA, where he is undergoing extensive therapy.� There appears to be no residual effects from the stroke.� He was visited by the Provincial on Wednesday, September 21.� The strong grip, the hearty laugh, and the great sense of humor gave every indication that Damian was on the way to full recovery.� Please remember him in prayer.�� He may be contacted at:� Health South Rehabilitation Hospital,� 2005 Valley View Blvd.,� Altoona, PA� 16602-4548;� 814-944-3535.

��Continued prayers are requested for Columba Enright.�� He is on a slow-road to recovery but has been able to maintain his great wit and indomitable spirit.

♦�� Please remember in prayer Robert Wolski, the brother of Adalbert Wolski.� Robert�s health continues to decline.� He is Adalbert�s only sibling.

♦�� Patty Pyo, TOR was hospitalized for an elective surgery to have her hip replaced.� She is recovering at home.� As an affiliate of our Province, we have a special obligation to hold her in prayer.� Please let her know that you are doing so.� Well-wishes may be sent to her at: 758 Portage Road, Cresson, PA, 16630.

��Didacus Wilson can use our prayers at this important juncture.� He continues to face the possibility of kidney failure.� This will lead either to dialysis or a transplant operation.

Between periodic visits to the hospital, he continues his dedicated ministry to high school students as a teacher and advisor.� Patrick Quinn is one friar who offered to be a donor and whose blood appears to be a compatible match for Didacus.� Let us pray for both of them.
