The president of the U.S. bishops’ conference was hospitalized March 15 after suffering a mild stroke, according to a statement from the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston, which has been led by Cardinal Daniel DiNardo since 2006.
“It is expected that Cardinal DiNardo will remain hospitalized for a few more days of testing and observation, followed by a transfer to another facility for rehabilitation. He is grateful to the doctors and nurses for their wonderful care and for continued prayers during his recovery,” the March 16 statement said.
“The Cardinal is resting comfortably and conversing with associates, doctors and nurses.”
The archdiocesan statement said that DiNardo is eager to resume his duties. According to the statement, DiNardo said today that “with so much to do, I am looking forward to getting back to work as soon as possible.”

Given the age of the ‘executive management’ of the Church, I think it is amazing there are not more serious health issues.
God bless Cardinal DiNardo! May he have a speedy recovery! He is in our prayers!
May St. Joseph, the patron father of the Church, pray for his full recovery and spiritual salvation.
God Bless Cardinal DiNardo!

It was sad that DiNardi never responded when he was asked to hold a a significant Requiem Mass for Catholic convert, pro-life leader Norma McCorvey who died in his diocese.
