Prayers for Archbishop Emeritus Terrence Prendergast
Last week the Archdiocese of Ottawa-Cornwall shared the following news on their Facebook page:
Archbishop Terrence [Prendergast], who served as the first Archbishop of Ottawa-Cornwall, has been diagnosed with cancer. With his permission, we invite you to join the diocese in praying for his healing and for God's peace and strength.
Monseigneur Terrence, qui a servi comme premier archevêque d'Ottawa-Cornwall, a reçu un diagnostic de cancer. Avec sa permission, nous vous invitons à vous joindre au diocèse pour prier pour sa guérison ainsi que pour la paix et la force de Dieu.
Bishop Terry, as he is known to many locally, was Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Halifax from 1998 to 2007. In the summer of 2007 he was appointed by then Pope John Paul II to shepherd the Archdiocese of Ottawa.
We invite the faithful to keep Bishop Terry in their prayers. Saint Peregrine, patron saint of those facing cancer, pray for him.
