    Diocese says Bishop Cote doing well after being taken to the hospital

    The Diocese of Norwich said Monday afternoon that Bishop Michael Cote remains in the hospital "where he is doing well and feels much better" after falling ill while celebrating the annual Fishermen's Mass at St. Mary Church in Stonington borough Sunday morning.

    The diocese said Cote "will remain in the hospital for a few days so that appropriate adjustments can be made to his medications."

    "Bishop Cote is grateful for the expressions of concern and well wishes he has received. He asks for your continued prayers as all the people of the diocese remain in his," the diocese said. 

    Cote was taken by ambulance to the hospital. The Mass preceded the 66th annual Blessing of the Fleet celebration.
