Rob Mayo<\/span>
September 26, 1960 - June 11, 2012<\/p>\n

\"Rob02\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 Rob Mayo, along with his wife Karen were best known for their service to the Church in the Fort Wayne-South Bend Diocese, most especially their tireless efforts in the restoration of St. Felix Friary. \u00a0Rob was a man of great faith, and love for the Catholic Church. \u00a0It was through this love that the legacy of the Ven. Solanus Casey was able to captivate his heart, he became a son of St. Francis and a great devotee of Fr. Solanus Casey. \u00a0Anyone who knew him, understood his love and devotion to Fr. Solanus by the way he shared the stories he had heard. \u00a0He was fascinated by the town\u2019s people who would come up and share their personal stories of Fr. Solanus Casey, and he was eager to tell everyone what he had heard. \u00a0Rob was a man of great humility, he was filled with gratitude for the great blessings in his life, especially his wife Karen, their children Alison, Robert, Michelle and his grandchildren Jacob and Luke. \u00a0He spoke often of his family with great love, his parents George and Sharon, whom he loved and prayed for, his sisters Karen, Tami and brother Scott. \u00a0Most recently the excitement in his voice could be heard as he spoke of welcoming grandson Luke into the world just two months ago. \u00a0He was so filled with so much hope for little Luke and what a blessing he felt this little guy was to the family. \u00a0He and Karen would take hundreds of pictures of their first grandson Jacob each time they spent time together. \u00a0He loved being a Grandfather.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 His commitment to the Historic St. Felix Friary, now known as St. Felix Catholic Center, was to make it a place of reverence, prayer, personal solitude, simplicity, a place where Catholics could come together and share their faith during group retreats without worldly distractions.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 Rob also had a deep devotion to Our Blessed Mother. \u00a0Which can be understood by the great care he showed in the magnificent restoration of Our Lady\u2019s Grotto. \u00a0He very much saw this Grotto as the centerpiece of the restoration of St. Felix Friary. \u00a0The Grotto is a tribute to Rob\u2019s love of Our Lady.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 Rob will be greatly missed at St. Felix Friary, but for many of us, we know this gentle man who loved Christ and Holy Mother Church so deeply, through his efforts to restore the legacy of St, Felix, he has left us with his own legacy. \u00a0There is no doubt that the memory of the great Ven. Solanus Casey dwells in this Most Holy place, many can attest to this. \u00a0Through our Most Loving God and His Mercy, we can be confident that Rob\u2019s memory will dwell alongside the one he was so devoted too!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
