Bishop Paul Sirba

Bishop Paul Sirba 9/2/60 - 12/1/19

We were all shocked and saddened to hear of the passing of our beloved Bishop Sirba. He was a most kind and genuine bishop. He was also quite generous to St. Raphael's Guild: He was one of our earliest speakers/teachers, when on 9/20/13 he spoke to our guild on "Introduction to Spiritual Direction/Formation". He was endlessly supportive of our White Mass - He celebrated every White Mass for 10 years and was our first White Mass speaker in 2010 when he spoke to us on "Prayer, Spirituality, and Physicians". God Bless Bishop Sirba.
