Father Frank Brauer was a gentle man, a wonderful spiritual guide and confessor, someone who genuinely cared for the people of the Catholic Community of Saint Francis Xavier, especially the children, and welcomed all. My wife and I had the privilege of being in a Lenten small group with him for several years and have many fond memories of that time. Many of those involve watching him bring seminarians to be a part of the group while he mentored them in their vocation. Our daughters always felt safe, welcome, and respected when around him. We were all sorry to see him leave to enjoy a much-deserved retirement. He was a good priest.
Eternal rest grant unto him, Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace.
