• MESSAGE FROM FR. TONY- JULY 25

  “Thank you for visiting or parish website.
  I wanted to send you an update on my health progress.
  I want to begin by expressing my deepest thanks to many of you who have sent me cards and letters of Get Well wishes. Your prayers and support have made me feel connected to the OLPH community during this time of absence and recovery. I look forward to joining all of you at our Eucharist celebrations soon. At this time, however, I am unable to say the exact day of my return.
  
  I also want to express my deepest gratitude to my heart surgeon, Dr. David Nagpal and his medical team at University Hospital in London, Ontario. Their expertise and skills along with their careful tender post-surgery care made me feel that the good Lord had sent me the most talented and gifted medical people in their field. Their respect and courtesy assured me I was receiving the best attention.
  
  This post-op recovery period has been a slow progress.  Although, I am told that recovery period is normally 6 – 8 weeks, I am aiming for a shorter time. I still suffer from
  fatigue and continuous chest pains that exhaust me after the most menial tasks, I do manage the recommended daily walks and listening to my body for much needed rest. Soon, I will enter the local Cardiac Wellness Center for the Rehab program here in Windsor.
  
  I also want to send my prayers and healing thoughts to all members of our family who are also suffering from some pain or who are suffering physical adversity. Since this is my first major physical illness, I feel the experience has brought me closer to many of our parish community who suffer physical pain, many times, worse pain, almost on a daily basis. And of course, this experience has brought me closer to the power of the Healing Christ and His love and care for all who are suffering and in pain.
  
  Thank you for your support and prayers.
  May the Lord Jesus always walk by your side and be the centre of your life.”
  Fr. Tony Del Ciancio
