Dear Brother Priests, Deacons/Subdeacons, Consecrated Men & Women,
Please find below and attached an announcement of the sad news of the passing of Father David Fisher. I too want to echo the sentiments of Bishop Zaidan who expressed gratitude for the life of Father David Fisher. I also want to add my word of thanks to Father Andrawos and the good people of Saint Maron Church in Philadelphia, who loved and cared for Fr. David.
Fr. David and I go back over 40 years to our time together as students in Rome. My condolences to all who loved and cared for him.
+ Gregory
