Most Recent Update Concerning Fr. Bob Bedard

Monday, June 15, 2009

Dear Friends,

Once again I would like to thank all of you for your generous prayers and support. Last week Fr. Bob received an assessment and it was determined that he is need of a very high level of ongoing care. He has short periods where he is very lucid and communicative, but he is still very confused and "foggy" the majority of the time. This past Friday he was moved to a long term care facility in town. After over six months in the hospital this comes as a relief to all of us. He is in a far more comfortable setting and is receiving very good and thorough care. We give thanks to God for this blessing.

We are giving him some time to adjust to his new surroundings before we discuss how available we should make him for visits from his many friends. We will obviously be relying heavily on the advice of his health care providers to make this decision. We will keep you posted. In the meantime we appreciate your continued prayers!

United in prayer,

Fr Scott McCaig, CC
Moderator (General Superior)
