Cardinal Edward Egan will receive a pacemaker Monday at St. Vincent's Hospital in Manhattan, CBS station WCBS-TV.

New York Archdiocese spokesman Joe Zwilling said Egan, 76, arrived at the hospital around 10 p.m. Saturday, after complaining of stomach pains. The pacemaker decision was made after he underwent various tests.

The Cardinal was awake and alert Sunday, and his pains have decreased. He expressed his disappointment at not being able to celebrate Palm Sunday Mass at the Cathedral of Saint Patrick.

Egan, who turned 77 on April 2, will retire as Archbishop on April 15, 2009, and will be succeeded by Archbishop Timothy Dolan.

The Cardinal has led the New York Archdiocese since June 2000. He is intended to celebrate Easter Mass, pending successful hospital tests.
