SAN DIEGO (CNS) – The leader of the Catholic Diocese in San Diego was recovering Thursday from a stroke.
According to a statement from Monsignor Steven Callahan, Bishop Cirilo Flores was stricken Wednesday in his office and taken to a hospital by paramedics. He was “alert and in good spirits” Thursday, and will remain hospitalized for a few more days, Callahan said.
Flores became the fifth Catholic bishop of San Diego last September when he succeeded Robert Brom. The 65-year-old native of Corona was named a coadjutor bishop in 2012.
