Statement of the Coptic Orthodox Church About the Health of His Holiness Pope Tawadros II

Below you can find a statement issued by the Coptic Orthodox Church about the Health of His Holiness Pope Tawadros II, Pope of Alexandria and Patriarch of the See of St. Mark.

“And as many as touched it were made perfectly well” (Matthew 14:36).

As part of the medical follow-up being undertaken by H.H. Pope Tawadros II, and following several tests and investigations, His Holiness’ condition required surgical intervention on one of the kidneys. By the grace of God, the procedure was completed with full success.

Pope Tawadros is currently spending several days in a hospital in Austria for clinical monitoring. Thereafter, His Holiness is scheduled to spend a period of convalescence at Saint Anthony's Monastery in Austria.

We thank the Lord for the health of our father, H.H. Pope Tawadros II, and we pray together that the Lord may restore him safely and in good health to the homeland.

We also extend our greetings to you all on the occasion of the Glorious Feast of Epiphany.
