Metropolitan PAVLOS, the Archbishop of America, suffered a very serious brain hemorrhage while at his residence in Astoria early yesterday evening. He was taken to Mt. Sinai Hospital of Queens, and then transferred to Mt. Sinai Hospital in Manhattan.

His attending neurologist, Dr. Ronald Alterman, stated that it is still too early to determine how much neurological damage His Eminence suffered. The Metropolitan is currently being kept under sedation.

The Holy Metropolis asks that everyone pray to the Mother of our God, the Most Holy Theotokos, that she may intercede with her Son our Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ, that He have mercy on His servant Metropolitan PAVLOS.

At 7:00 PM every evening, at the Cathedral of St. Markella, a Supplicatory Canon to the Mother of God will be conducted on behalf of His Eminence Metropolitan PAVLOS.
