Beloved brethren: 

CHRIST IS RISEN!  INDEED HE IS RISEN! 

A few days ago, we communicated with the clergy and faithful of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the USA and Diaspora, asking you all to keep our beloved Metropolitan Antony in your prayers as he was hospitalized and underwent a serious medical procedure.  The wonderful medical professionals at Morristown Medical Center, Morristown, NJ extended an incredible effort in quickly treating the illness. 

His Eminence Metropolitan Antony was discharged from the hospital on Thursday, May 12, 2022 and is recuperating comfortably.  He expresses his profound gratitude to the hospital staff who treated him so thoroughly and successfully.  Further, he expresses most sincere gratitude to all of you who not only prayed for him but reached out to him in many ways to express your love and support during this difficult time.  During the days of Metropolitan’s stay in the hospital he certainly felt your love, support and especially your prayers expressing such to me during my visits with him. 

The Metropolitan needs his rest and to rebuild his strength.  Therefore, we ask for privacy throughout this process.  Cards of support and prayer are most certainly appreciated. Please, forward your "Get Well" wishes to the following address:

His Eminence Metropolitan Antony

I personally thank you all for your support, your concern and your love exhibited during this difficult week.  May our Loving Lord bless you and always enable your compassion to be manifested for all who need it throughout your lives. 

May the Grace of our Risen Lord, Jesus Christ, the Love of God the Father and the Communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
