Robert (Bob) Bossie, SCJ is a 56 year member of the Priests of the Sacred Heart, a religious congregation located in over 40 countries. He worked at Chicago's 8th Day Center for Justice for over 32 years. The Center (which closed in 2018) was a faith-based collective of 30+ religious congregations committed to created a world of justice, peace and integrity of creation.
Bob focused his efforts on nonviolent resistance to nuclear weapons, war, as well as economic and environmental oppression. Though retired now, "he doesn't know how he found time to work before he was retired."
Bob was born in 1937 in Boston, Massachusetts, the middle child of seven. He spent four years in the US Air Force and five years in the military industrial complex maintaining and building various weapon systems including nuclear weapons systems. He often reflects that throughout those nine years with the military, no one in church, school, at work or among his friends ever asked if what he was doing was moral or not. He notes that he is not trying to cast guilt but to acknowledge how immersed is the military and violence in our culture and life. After all, we call it "military service" and say, "thanks for your service" don't we.
As part of his work, Bob has travelled to 30 countries and an equal number of US states. In his travels he met hundreds, if not thousands, of wonderful and inspirational persons. He has always been inspired by the song:
In the struggle, rewards are few.
In fact, I know of only two.
Loving friends and living dreams.
Such rewards are not so few it seems.
