Archbishop Daniel M. Buechlein of Indianapolis was released from a local hospital and transferred to a rehabilitation clinic on March 24 to begin recovery after a recent stroke.
Archbishop Buechlein, 72, is expected to undergo three to four weeks of therapy at the clinic and will continue to oversee the operations of the Archdiocese of Indianapolis during his recovery, according to the archdiocesan paper The Criterion.
On March 18, the archbishop became dizzy while at home and called 911. After undergoing tests at St. Vincent Hospital in Indianapolis, doctors determined that he had suffered a mild stroke.
Archbishop Buechlein said the day-to-day operations and ministries of the archdiocese will continue as normal while he recuperates. He also said he would appreciate everyone’s prayers.
