Latest word about Bishop Mark MacDonald is that the surgery on Friday was successful in removing the infected area. He is feeling much stronger and is even talking about being in Navajoland for Easter. He was having some swelling of the leg, but that is normal after surgery. Please keep him and his family in your prayers.

I ask your prayers for Patty Iron Cloud, a faithful churchwoman from Pine Ridge. She collapsed in a shop in Washington DC last Thurday. She is hospitalized in Bethesda, MD and is seriously ill. Some members of her family and her Hunka relatives are with her.
