Due to being diagnosed with prostate cancer this fall, Bishop Michael F. Burbidge had surgery on the morning of Tuesday, Nov. 27, and his surgery was successful with no complications. Those entrusted with his medical care expect a full recovery. The recovery period requires no activity the first two weeks after the surgery and only gradually increasing activity for the following four to six weeks. Please pray for Bishop Burbidge, those entrusted with his medical care and for a full recovery.

He is thankful for the prayerful support of the faithful of the Diocese of Arlington, especially at this time.
