Included below is part of the message I received earlier this afternoon.
I forwarded the messages from the listmembers to him. It's good to know
he wants to help. Barb

Good Day.
I'm sorry I haven't had the opportunity to get back with you or Ivan,
but as I explained to Ivan, the Archbishop generates a lot of work and
it is not always possible to return a call or email within 48 hours.
I also expressed to Ivan that John Allen and I would review the
Archbishop's calendar and see what would be the most effective way for
him to show support during April for those who suffer from Parkinson's.
As of now, no final decision has been made.
I will be in contact to say whether the Archbishop will be available to
issue a prayer on Internat'l Parkinson's Day or if it will have to be
later in April.
Please know that the Archbishop wants to do something and we will make
every effort to help raise awareness.
Thank you for your consideration.
