Metropolitan Lawrence's Condition Shows Improvement

October 16, 2024

Winnipeg, MB, October 16, 2024 - In a significant development, Metropolitan Lawrence has been transferred from the Intensive Care Unit to a standard hospital ward.

Previously reported on October 11, Metropolitan Lawrence required intensive care at a local Winnipeg hospital following a COVID-19 diagnosis. Following successful dialysis and respiratory treatment, he has been weaned off mechanical ventilation and relocated to a ward where his COVID-19 treatment will continue.

Bishop Andriy Rabiy, the auxiliary bishop of the Archeparchy of Winnipeg, commented the Metropolitan's progress: "Thanks to an extraordinary outpour of prayers invoking God's healing power, expertise and care of the medical team, Metropolitan Lawrence has concluded his intensive care treatment. Nevertheless, the journey towards full recuperation remains extensive."

The Archeparchy extends its gratitude for the respect shown towards Metropolitan Lawrence's privacy during his convalescence.

Please continue to offer prayers for Metropolitan Lawrence's full recovery and good health through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Blessed Nykyta Budka, Blessed Vasyl Velychkovsky, and Blessed Yosaphata Hordashevska during this challenging time.
