St. Rose Priest Mourns with His Flock After Witnessing His Parishioners’ Grief
Anne Hull of The Washington Post profiles Monsignor Robert Weiss whose church was greatly affected by the shooting in Newtown, Connecticut and who now finds himself comforting the mourning families as he tries to cope with his own grief. Half of the children killed were members of Weiss’s congregation, St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church. “I thought about Paul. Paul said, ‘In my weakness I find my greatest strength,’” Weiss said.
