COVINGTON, LA – Retired Archbishop Philip Hannan is expected to be discharged from the hospital Monday and released to a nursing facility.

Hannan, 97, has been battling pneumonia and was recently very ill. Archbishop Gregory Aymond had asked for prayers for the popular Hannan as he fought his illness.

Hannan became the leader of the Archdiocese of New Orleans around the time Hurricane Betsy delivered a blow to the city. He also saw the city through its integration battles and was a major factor in securing a historic papal visit in the 1980s.

>>>Please continue your prayers for this good and holy man, Archbishop Philip Hannan, Archbishop of New Orleans from 1965-1989.
