Father Bob, Thank you for being there when my family needed a Priest. We had been waiting for hours that day that you came to the Hospital and gave my Mom "Last Rites"at MUSC. She wanted that more than anything before she died and we could not get a hold of any Priests that we knew in Charleston area Catholic Churches. We called the Chancery office as well with no response. The Hospital Chaplain was trying for hours as well as for us and then a Nurse in the department told me about you. That you worked for the Coastal Crisis Chaplaincy and that you where a Catholic Priest and provided for her family when so needed. So we called them and they found you and you came so quickly without regard to who we were or my mothers standing in the church.
PRAISE TO THE LORD THAT HE HAS YOU WORKING FOR HIM FOR US.
Does your Bishop know the things you do without regard to peoples standings? Thank God you do!
He should be promoting you to "Monsignor Status", because you do more than any Monsignor that I know and I know plenty here in Charleston area. The Bishop should be seriously looking at what they don't do and haven't done for the flock. We will be visiting your church soon and I want to learn more about your ministry for the Lost.
