His Lenten Epistle was posted on the ROCOR site
Sounds like he is a bit better but not out of the woods. I pray he gets better and that he doesn't suffer too much with this cancer.
Vladika is responsible for a great deal of my orthodox learning. He's truly a light in this dark world and I pray that he can stay a while longer.
In Christ,
Jacqueline

Vladyka Alexander Mileant-ROCOR-L,Reposes
His Grace Bishop Alexander (Mileant) of Buenos Aires and South America Reposes
On the night of September 12-13, after a lengthy illness, His Grace Bishop Alexander of Buenos Aires and South America departed to the Lord. A pannikhida will be held this evening at Holy Trinity Church in Oxnard, CA. A pannikhida will be held there also on Thursday before the body of the newly-reposed hierarch, and the following morning, a hierarchal Divine Liturgy and the funeral. The burial will be held at Holy Trinity Monastery in Jordanville, NY.
The late Bishop Alexander was born Alexander Vasilievich Mileant in Odessa in 1938. During the Second World War his father disappeared at the front, and his family, fleeing the Bolsheviks, went to the West. They lived in Prague, in Rome, and finally in Buenos Aires, where the young Alexander received his primary education and then completed a seven-year electro-technical school. He worked as a machine draftsman for several companies. He then enrolled in Buenos Aires University.
From the age of 8, Alexander served as an altar boy under Archbishop Panteleimon, then under Archbishop Afanassy, who took him under his wing and gave him three years of formal theological training. Vladyka Afanassy possessed a great theological library. Wishing to read the works of the Holy Fathers in the original, Alexander first learned modern Greek, then ancient Greek.
At the end of 1963, Alexander enrolled at Holy Trinity Seminary in Jordanville, which he graduated with a Bachelor
