Cardinal George is out of surgery and is doing well after his successful bladder operation at Loyola University Medical Center.

The Cardinal has already expressed his thanks and gratitude to all the people of Chicago for their prayers and best wishes. He also extends his gratitude to his doctors, nurses and all the members of his medical team.

During the days and weeks ahead, we will continue to ask all Catholics in the Archdiocese and other friends and colleagues to pray for the Cardinal’s recovery and return to his active life.
