On Monday morning while still on vacation, Bishop John contacted me to inform me of Fr. Norman Fischer’s death. My initial reaction was disbelief, shock, and terrible sadness. I’m devastated by the news.
For many years Fr. Norman has been a good friend and during the past 13 years a supportive brother Priest. Norman has always supported me and my priestly ministry for which I am eternally grateful. His love, enthusiasm, and service to the Gospel message of Jesus has inspired me and countless others. The passing of Fr. Norman leaves a hole in my heart that cannot be filled. He will be missed.
Let us remember the life and legacy of Fr. Norman with our prayers and acts of kindness. May Mary the Mother of Priests hold him gently in her arms. Rest in peace my friend. ♥️
