Bishop Emeritus Matthew Clark, the former head of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Rochester, is experiencing declining health.
In a letter sent Wednesday to priests, deacons, and the religious and lay faithful of the Diocese of Rochester, Bishop Salvatore Matano said Clark’s condition “is now quite serious.”
Clark, who is now 85-years-old, led the Diocese of Rochester from 1979 until 2012.
Clark announced in 2019 that he had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.
