Reverend Herbert Ene

Note from Sharon Reiter in the Eastern Tier of our Diocese:

 January 13 is Father Michael’s birthday.  He is assigned to St. Mary’s Camden and Holy Family Mission, Huntingdon, as Associate Pastor.  He came here over a year ago to assist Father Ene during his medical issues.

Father Herbert Ene continues to be our Pastor.  Presently, he is at Vanderbilt, where he is receiving stem cell therapy. (I think that is what it is called — he received a transplant of stem cells grown from his own cells).  We all have been praying for a miracle to come out of this.  Some of us are blaming his medical issues on the jabs he received in order to go back to Nigeria for his R & R.  I BELIEVE he has been diagnosed with some kind of blood cancer that has given him symptoms very similar to ALS.  In fact, some of us thought that is what it was.  Anyway, at this point, we are hopeful things will turn around.
