Prayers requested for His Beatitude, Metropolitan Sawa of Poland
On July 15, 2008, His Beatitude, Metropolitan Sawa of Warsaw and All Poland returned home after a prolonged hospitalization. The primate of the Orthodox Church of Poland experienced severe difficulties in breathing on June 26, 2008, which led to his admission to the hospital for medical care and treatment.
“Metropolitan Sawa visited the United States as a guest of the Orthodox Church in America on several occasions,” said Archpriest Leonid Kishkovsky, OCA Director of External Affairs and Interchurch Relations. “He is personally well-acquainted with bishops, clergy, and lay people of our Church.”
His Beatitude, Metropolitan Herman asks all OCA clergy and faithful to offer prayers for Metropolitan Sawa’s full recovery.
