Mixing humor with ministry is Benedictine Br. Roman (Robert) Sleger's cheerful style, which he has developed during more than 40 years as a religious brother.
"I am a people person. The brotherhood has been a very interesting life path for me," said Br. Sleger, who has been assisting for the last few years at Holy Trinity Parish, Oconto,
playing the organ, leading Bible studies and bringing Communion to the home-bound.
But his road to the monastery was not a straight path, said Br. Sleger, 77.
He was born Dec. 22, 1928, in West De Pere. His father was a cheese maker and his mother was a homemaker. But he grew up in St. Joseph Orphanage in Allouez - now the site of the diocesan offices. He and his five brothers and sisters entered the orphanage in October
1930 because his mother got sick after he was born and his parents could no longer care for them.
Br. Sleger said his memories of the orphanage were all good and include helping in the kitchen and on the farms during harvest time. Full story ...
