Rev. Fr. Anthony Wingerden was hit by a car on Tuesday afternoon (December 8th 2015) and sustained a serious injury to one arm and shoulder. He has undergone reconstructive surgery, but would most surely benefit from your prayers for a speedy and full recovery. More news will follow.

Update from Fr. McLaughlin dated 12th December 2015:

Dear Fr Brucciani,

I am just back from visiting Fr Wingerden in the hospital. He seems very much improved since my last visit a few days ago: the operation on his shoulder/arm seems to have gone well. He is tired and sore, but otherwise quite chirpy and already able to winch himself out of bed and walk a little way with me to the door! It looks like the recovery and rehabilitation on his arm will probably take weeks, or more probably months, but he is certainly already looking much more his usual self. I am sure that people’s prayers for him have not gone unanswered.
That’s the main news; other than this, we will have to await the assessment of his consultant, which should be sometime during the early part of the week.
