Bishop Tobin released from hospital

PROVIDENCE -- The Most Rev. Bishop Thomas J. Tobin, the Roman Catholic Bishop of Providence, was released from Our Lady of Fatima Hospital in North Providence this morning after treatment for back and leg pain, according to the Diocese of Providence.

Tobin, who was admitted to the hospital Nov. 28, will continue his recovery at home and will gradually resume his public schedule, the diocese says.

Tobin, in a statement, said he was grateful for the hospital staff and also for the cards, gifts and prayers he received.

"It is good to be home during this blessed Advent season, and I look forward to resuming my full schedule of activities as soon as possible," Tobin said.
