Dear Rev. Fathers, Permanent Deacons & Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Greetings and peace in the Lord!
It’s been a while since I last wrote to provide an update for you. I am grateful to report that I am over the 6-week post-op period after my last surgery and finished my course of IV antibiotics. My neurosurgeon is confident that there is no sign of infection in my brain.
I am back in the office full days now, and I will be starting to get out to the parishes again, as well as other events as they come up. Hopefully I will be able to surprise you with a visit sometime soon.
I thank you once more for all of your prayers. They are a testament to God’s goodness, your great faith, and your care and concern for me.
I extend my very best wishes for a blessed and fruitful Lent as we all prepare to celebrate the Resurrection of the Lord at Easter!
Sincerely in Christ our Lord,
Gregory J Bittman
Bishop of Nelson
