Dear friends in Christ, I received a phone call from Father Jack's daughter stating that he had respiratory distress early this morning and was placed on a ventilator to help his breathing. At present, he is in the ICU and is stable. It is thought that the respiratory distress is a result pneumonia and congestive heart failure. I am deeply, deeply saddened by today's news and am asking for your prayers. In the mercy of Christ, -- Kellie M. Ross
