with Hearts Full of Gratitude Amazingly, by regularly receiving the sacraments, praying the Rosary often, and becoming an integral part of our parish family, Susan was freed from her addiction to drinking. “We were at the end of our rope when it came to my drinking,” she says. “After everything we tried, it is incredible that the Catholic faith was what healed me in the end. After being at Christ the King Parish for about a year and a half, I was finally able to give up drinking and it seemed effortless compared to what I had tried before. Who knows where we would have ended up without our parish staff — I would probably be dead and Bob would probably still be a wandering, lost soul — and we will always be so grateful to them.”
In fact, gratitude has so overcome their hearts that Bob and Susan have chosen to make our parish the major beneficiary of their will. “It is the least we can do,” Susan says. “Besides, God gave us everything we have. We feel that Christ the King Parish ‘saved’ us, and this is the way we can give an ultimate ‘thank you’!” Since she retired, Susan has enjoyed helping out with various volunteer ministries, such as Christians in Community Service. She also spent time assisting Director of Advancement Katie Shepherd in our Parish Office. She and Bob are currently founding a ministry named Mutts on a Mission, which connects persons in need to therapy dogs that can offer them emotional support.
