BATH, PA [DOEPA COMMUNICATIONS]

Dear to God,

Christ is in our midst! He is and ever shall be!

On this Day of the Holy Spirit, I humbly ask that all the Clergy, Matushki, and Faithful of the Diocese of Philadelphia and Eastern Pennsylvania remember in their prayers the handmaiden of God, Hannah Conover, who was hospitalized following a serious automobile accident on Saturday.

Hannah has faithfully volunteered in recent years for our diocesan teen retreats and summer camp programs, touching the lives of many of our young people through her dedication and service. I also ask your prayers for her parents, Lawrence and Melissa, her siblings, family, friends, and all those caring for her during this difficult time, that they may be strengthened and sustained by God's mercy and love.

May the All-Holy Spirit, the Comforter and Giver of Life, overshadow Hannah with His grace and strength. Through the prayers of our Sovereign Lady, the Most Holy Theotokos and Ever-Virgin Mary, and of all the saints, may the Lord preserve His servant Hannah and grant her a swift recovery according to His holy will.

Your unworthy father in Christ,

+MARK
Archbishop of Philadelphia and the Diocese of Eastern Pennsylvania
