Robert has been a member of Our Lady of Faith for ten years.  He was happy to have a community available, not only for his family’s transition to life in Switzerland, but also for the friendships they have made here.  He appreciates how important the mission is for those who have moved far from home and he would like to give back in a small way by joining the council.
