Andrew Greeley on the mend

The latest on Rev. Andrew Greeley, injured in a taxi-related accident in November of ’08, update as of 3/17/10:

Father Andrew Greeley and family wish to express their profound gratitude to all who have kept him in their prayers. On his behalf, we ask for your continued prayers for him and for all victims of traumatic brain injury and their families.

We express our thanks to the skilled medical personnel, caregivers, and rehabilitation therapists who have cared for and encouraged him during this difficult time.  We will continue to work so that, in spite of his injury, he can enjoy a quality of life in keeping with his imagination, intelligence, and service to his Church and community.

Through the years, we have observed first hand his deep commitment to his friends, academic colleagues, readers, fellow priests, and parishioners. We know that Fr. Greeley blesses you for your concern.  Happy Easter to all!

  2. FYI: Father Greeley’s homilies are currently being recycled from previous years, so you may want to correct the anouncement on your page about new work. Sorry to bwar bad news, but hopefully in the future it will be the case…
