I am sharing your sadness, because of the departure of Fr Bob.  Nothing suggested such a quick death. I never got to meet Fr. Bob directly, only by screen or phone. Now, it will be in God.

I offer the entire region my condolences and the assurance of my fraternal prayer for our brother and his family. He made a strong and important ministry for the mission of families; he has certainly helped countless people. May the Lord welcome his son, his priest, in Heaven. 

I will share now with the whole Congregation in praying for our brother, and the members of his province and his region.

We have the treasure of hope, it is what allows us to move forward.

With all my sympathy and fraternity,

Father Jean-Michel   

Superior General
