Everyone,

Please pray for Fr. J. Matthew Elanjileth, pastor of St. Mary's Romanian Byzantine Catholic Church in McKeesPort, PA. He suffered a heart attack over the weekend, and is undergoing an emergency triple bypass this morning. He is a friend of mine, and a wonderful man.

Thanks,
Anthony

May God heal His priest soon, and return him to shepherding the flock entrusted to him.

May the Lord come to the aid of His priestly servant, and watch over his people while he is away from them.

Hello Anthony,
My name is Leeno and my mother omana is a very dear friend of Father John Matthew. She hasn’t heard from him in 3 months. Is he OK. I pray he is recovering from the triple Bypass surgery you noted.

Please let me know how he is. My mother is very concerned

Thank you
