Some Background on Fr. Briese

When the story about Fr. Briese broke, there was a huge amount of hate directed to him.  However, what most do not know is about the good that he has done in the community.

The Rev. Michael Briese makes his daily rounds going out to various apartments, hotels and homeless encampments in the area delivering food to those in need. 

The Saint Mary Catholic Church, Newport priest attempts to learn about the people he meets; finding out their name and phone number, how many people are in their family and how they got to where they are now in an effort to form a relationship with them and in turn be some kind of encouragement to help them get back on their feet.

My first impression when I read about the funeral situation was that he sounded like he was on the edge and needed help. People don't totally lose it like that if things are normal. I'll offer my Mass this morning for him.

I hope you prayed for the family as well. They were traumatized. That should also be acknowledged. “Get this thing out of here” She was not human to him at that moment.

You should show love to the victims as well. John 13:35
It would be a shame if this moment made them doubt their faith.

What faith? They did not even know they knocked over the body of Christ!
Yellow journalism!
