Just before the Covid-19 pandemic began to spread and eventually closed down our country, I was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer. Based on my prostate cancer growth, I was diagnosed in an intermediate unfavorable category.
After considering various options for treatment, I have elected to have surgery to remove the prostate. While there are some very negative after-effects to surgery, I am ready to deal with them as best I can. My surgery will be on July 6^th at Saint Joseph Hospital in Saint Joseph.
In order to assure that I will not be compromised leading to surgery, I will not celebrate the Masses on the weekend of July 4^th and 5^th and the weekend after on July 11^th and 12^th and then we will see how recovery goes from there. I ask for your prayers for the surgeon and for all who will be working with me. All communication regarding my recovery will be posted on the parishes’ websites. 
God has and will continue to be good to me. I do not know what the future will bring but I am ready to do what is best for my health and for my parish families. Sunday’s responsorial psalm gives me a proper way to face this surgery: “Forever, I will sing the goodness of God.” God bless you all, stay safe and stay well. Padre

We will have a communion prayer service on Thursday July 16 at 9:30 AM. We will keep Father Bob in prayer as he recovers from surgery.
