In this episode of the Saint Francis Ministries “Conversations” podcast, Father Andrew O’Connor sits down with two former Saint Francis Ministries employees—Cheryl Rathbun, former Chief Clinical Officer, and Trish Bryant, former Senior Vice President of Strategic Initiatives. Together, they reflect on their decades of service and the legacy they helped shape within the organization.
Cheryl and Trish share memories of Father Bob Mize, and how his vision laid the foundation for a mission rooted in love, healing, and restoration. They explore the early adoption of trauma-informed care, the evolution of family preservation services, and the enduring role of faith in supporting children and families. This heartfelt conversation highlights the deep compassion, innovation, and commitment that has guided Saint Francis Ministries for generations.
