Kasun’s oil of gladness pours on Toronto

Fr. Thomas Rosica writes that anyone who has met Archdiocese of Toronto's newest auxiliary, Fr. Robert Kasun, are struck by his simplicity and genuine concern for others.

On June 17, we Basilians learned that one of our brothers, Fr. Robert Kasun, would become one of the four auxiliary bishops of the Archdiocese of Toronto. Fr. Bob is not the first Basilian bishop of Toronto. Denis O’Connor served as archbishop from 1899-1908.
