   METROPOLITAN ANTHONY OF SAN FRANCISCO HOSPITALIZED

   His Eminence Metropolitan Anthony of San Francisco was admitted to U.C.
   Davis Medical Center in Sacramento, California, on Thursday, November 18,
   with a diagnosis of Burkitt's lymphoma, a malignancy of the lymph nodes.
   Metropolitan Anthony is undergoing intensive treatment with chemotherapy
   and immunotherapy.  His response thus far has been favorable.  His
   condition will require continued evaluation and treatments over the next
   several months.

   His Eminence Archbishop Demetrios of America, who was with Metropolitan
   Anthony at the Medical Center on Sunday, November 21 and Monday, November
   22, encourages the faithful throughout the Archdiocese "to pray fervently
   to our good and merciful God for the restoration of the health of our
   beloved brother and friend and valiant co-worker in the vineyard of the
   Lord, Metropolitan Anthony."
