Prayers for Bp. Nikon of Boston

BOSTON, MA (OCA) - Prayers are requested for the ongoing health of His Grace, Bishop Nikon of Boston, New England and the Albanian Archdiocese, who recently underwent surgery to remove a very small tumor in close proximity to his vocal cords.

Bishop Nikon will undergo several weeks of radiation, during which he will curtail some of his previously scheduled visitations.

Archpriests Arthur Liolin and John Kreta, Chancellors of the Albanian Archdiocese and Diocese of New England respectively, reported that Bishop Nikon wishes to stress how positive he is about the results of recent tests, while requesting the faithful to keep him and those who are guiding his care and treatment in their prayers.

Bishop Nikon may be contacted at PO Box 149, Southbridge, MA 01550.
