Welcome back to Fr. Stephano who arrived back at Saint Anthony Church on Thursday, Oct. 6.
July 17, 2022 FR STEPHANO MEDICAL LEAVE As was announced last weekend Father Stephano was stricken with Covid-19 which led to a serious fall resulting in a severely fractured jaw. Because he blacked out and fainted from Covid-19 symptoms, the impact was severe and also caused his chin to be lacerated, requiring 20 stitches. The Bishop of Incheon asked him to return to South Korea to the Catholic hospital his diocese administers where the necessary surgery will be performed immediately. Only after a negative test will he be allowed to travel. His classmate Father Simon has arrived to stay with him and accompany him back to South Korea. His bishop assures us that he will return to Rhode Island when the doctors release him. Please continue to pray for him and send cards or letters to Saint Anthony Rectory and they will be forwarded to him
