Dear Abbot James,
and Community
The news we have about Bishop Herbert
(from Fr. Sidney, one of the priests with whom he lives):
Bp Herbert is out of Intense Care Unit;
he is in a hospital room now. He is much better. Doctor said that he is
responding well to treatment. Major attention is to kidneys. But he doesn't
need hemodialysis.
Herbert is worried about this, but the
doctor reassures him. He did not lose his appetite nor does he vomit.
The priest asked if there is a
prognosis for his release from the hospital. Doctor said no. But
believes that not less than 5 days before he can leave. We are praying
and accompanying him in his recuperation.
Relatives and Community friends of
Bishop Herbert, OSB and Abbot James Albers, OSB are asked to financially support
Saint Benedict's Abbey monastery.

provide much needed spiritual formation to our oblates in prison throughout the
nation, provide for the education and formation of our young monks, provide for
the healthcare needs of our elderly monks, and so much more.
I ask that you prayerfully consider
