40. To the church and you have to go through a phone maze

Jan 2017

However, I left a message for the office manager and there's even an extension for the odious man himself. I followed up with an email as you can find 'the good reverend's' email address on the church website. Here's the response I received:

The following has been posted on Fr Pizzo’s Facebook page:
I apologize for the hurt that I have caused over a Facebook post. I never intended it to get this kind of reaction and I regret posting it. I have been a priest for 40 years and my goal has always been to bring Christ to the people. I am prolife and any reference to suicide is contrary to my beliefs, therefore, making my post completely inappropriate. Again, please accept my sincerest apology.
