Bishop of Baker uninjured in rollover accident

BEND, Ore. (CNS) – Bishop Robert F. Vasa of Baker was uninjured in a late-night rollover accident June 12 that destroyed his sport utility vehicle. The accident occurred around 11 p.m. about 20 miles north of Madras as the bishop was returning to his home in Bend from a confirmation celebration. Bishop Vasa swerved to avoid a deer standing in the middle of the state highway, then swerved again around an oncoming vehicle and lost control of his Chevrolet Tahoe. The SUV went down a steep embankment, hit a boulder and flipped over before coming to rest upside down in a shallow creek paralleling the highway. “Then the ride was over,” Bishop Vasa, 54, told the Catholic Sentinel, newspaper of the Portland Archdiocese and the Baker Diocese. He was able to shut off the engine and climb out through the smashed rear window.
 
Talk about the guiding hand of God.

Bishop Vasa is so cool 😛

I had not heard of him before the brouhaha about politicans and receiving Eucharist but I admired his statement and I also admired the fact that he spoke publically about the McCarrick/Gregory shenannigans at the NCCB regarding then Cardinal Ratzinger’s letter to them. He finally provided the crack I’d been waiting for – someone from that august body who noted that it wasn’t operating the way it ought to have been and it took courage to say so. Here IMO is a man who valued truth more than his peers. Godspeed to him! And may his tribe increase!

Since I am from Oregon I often read about Bishop Vasa in Catholic Sentinel. He is truly an inspiration and so very orthodox. I am relieved he is OK. That is a very wild stretch of road!
