He made it a point to greet people and listen to them. I was then able to spend an hour with him, my parish priest and Fr. Chris Zugger and another young man from my parish. Bishop Gerald had a wonderful since of humor and took an active interest to get to know myself and the other young adult with me. Quote This is also true with the ACROD faithful. They expect their bishops to rub shouders with them and enjoy a good dish of holubki with an occasional touch of slivovica! He did eat plenty of dessert made for him by the local parish.

For this reason alone, most in my parish have some fondness for him. Bishop Gerald has yet to make a visit. Its not appropriate for posters to use this forum to build an anti-bishop(N) campaign. Self control is called for.
