Who is Fr. Reginald Foster?

I am happy to report that Fr Foster is in Milwaukee, and continues to make good progress in his rehabilitation care. (Update and Address here.)
Unfortunately, all classes in 2009 will be cancelled - read the letter from Fr. Foster and Hear his latest report in person (Oct. 1, 2009).
This Article from the MIlwaukee Catholic Harold Oct. 15, 2009 gives a good glimpse of how he's doing.

I am saddened to report the Fr. Foster has been hospitalized since January 2009.
Unfortunately, I do not know the status of his condition, which is serious, so please keep him in your prayers.
