Please remember The Roman Catholic Bishop of San Diego, Cirilo Flores, in your prayers.
The Diocese announced today:
Office of Monsignor Steven Callahan
We have learned through Archbishop Gomez that Bishop Flores has been diagnosed with cancer of unknown origin, but it is mainly in his bones. The cancer is widespread, very advanced and very aggressive. Unfortunately, Bishop Flores is not a candidate for chemotherapy because of his very weak condition and the advanced stage of the disease.
On Friday, Bishop Flores will be moved from the hospital in Los Angeles to Nazareth House here, where he will have palliative care.
While priests, deacons, religious and laity may wish to reach out to Bishop Flores during this difficult time, it is in his best interest and better for his care and well-being that we not try to contact Bishop Flores by phone nor attempt to visit him.
Let us continue to keep Bishop Flores in our prayers.
