R.I.P. Brother Fred Buerman, ObOSB



10/7/2011


Dear friends,
 
I am sad to report that our friend Fred died this morning of pulmonary fibrosis, as I was told by Kathy Marie Taylor and Father Dan McCotter, CSP, who have been his friends for ages.
 
The kind pastor of my former parish, Father Domingo Orimaco, invited me back to celebrate a Memorial Mass for Fred, something we spoke about last January when things were looking very bad. Fred served at the parish about ten years, making a great impact on the life of the people there. After the Mass, there will be a little reception as well.
 
Here are the details for Fred's funeral service in the Archdiocese of San Francisco:

Fred served at the parish about ten years, making a great impact on the life of the people there through his preaching, spiritual direction, leading our Lenten retreat, and his big heart.

The hyperlinks above will give you a map of the parish grounds, and also the website of the parish. The map is helpful for those who might need directions.
 
God bless,
