Fr. Dcn. Robert will have an initial consultation with an Oncologist on Thursday.
He is home and able to communicate on his computer.

I have learned that the cancer is stage 4 and has metasticized to the liver.
Deacon Robert will undergo chemotherapy in the hope of resuming his ministry.

Prayers for Deacon Robert, that his physicians be guided by the Holy Unmercenary Physicians, Cosmas and Damian, and that the Lord restore him to health and his ministry.

A Facebook post by Deacon Robert's daughter (relayed to me by my wife) indicates that his time may be short.
"A Christian ending to our life,
painless, blameless,
and a good defense before the judgement seat of Christ,
let us ask."

Deacon Robert reposed in the Lord on the First Saturday of Souls.
"With the spirits of the righteous made perfect,
give rest, O Lord to soul of Thy departed servant;
and preserve it in a place of blessedness that is from Thee,
O Thou Who lovest mankind"
