San Antonio archbishop released from hospital, resting comfortably at home

SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio Archbishop Gustavo García-Siller was released from the hospital Thursday afternoon after two days of treatment.

García-Siller was taken to a hospital Tuesday after he fell ill while presiding over morning Mass at the archdiocesan Pastoral Ministry Center.

Jordan McMorrough, director of communications for the archdiocese, said the archbishop is resting comfortably at home.

McMorrough added that some adjustments will be made to the archbishop’s schedule regarding upcoming events.

“I want to thank everyone for your affection and prayers. I am feeling much better, thanks be to God,” García-Siller said in a statement. “As a patient, I can appreciate all the work of those who serve our infirm brothers and sisters. I pray that more of us can become involved in the pastoral care of the sick; to accompany the sick through prayer and visits to hospitals. May our Lord care and heal those who are suffering from any illness.”
