FATIMA: A Message of Hope - Rev Bob Lombardo, C.F.R.

About this sermon

FATIMA: A Message of Hope - Rev Bob Lombardo, C.F.R. Fr. Bob Lombardo came to Chicago in 2005, at the special request of Cardinal George, to set up a mission outreach to the poor on Chicago’s west side. Over the years, Fr. Bob has put his talents to good use for building up the mission of the Church, not only as a priest, but also as a construction manager, fund raiser, counselor, accountant, and friend to all: the poor, volunteers, and countless others. Fr. Bob graduated from Notre Dame in 1979 with an accounting degree and worked for Price Waterhouse. Soon, however, the call to become a Franciscan and a priest could not be denied. As a young religious, he did missionary work in Bolivia and Honduras with orphaned street kids, organized youth programs on Manhattan's lower east side, and directed the Padre Pio Shelter for the Homeless in the Bronx. He is a founding member of his community, the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal (CFRs). Fr. Bob is a highly sought after speaker and retreat leader
