Families at Saint Francis of Assisi in West Des Moines spent Mother’s Day helping a special member of the church, Sunday.

“What better way to celebrate the father of our family, Pastor Bob, by celebrating Mother’s Day here,” says Misty Hade.

The celebration included brunch served by the Knights of Columbus.

“Father bob has been a very big part of our parish for the last couple years and he’s been a priest at several parishes in Iowa. He’s done an excellent job. Everybody loves him,” says Jeff Hoemann.

“He’s amazing. He’s my favorite priest ever,” says Danae Quick.

That’s why they are all showing their support during his time of need

“I look well. I just don’t feel all that well,” says Father Bob Hoefler.

Last December, he learned that his cancer he beat in 2003 had returned. This time, the disease had spread.

“We tried chemotherapy and that didn’t work. So now we’re trying another form of treatment and we’re not sure that’s going to work either, but for now, we’re taking a shot at it,” says Hoefler.
