Bishop Grob: from Wisconsin farm boy to auxiliary bishop

Bishop Jeffrey Grob was on vacation in Madison, Wisconsin, when he received the call from the apostolic nuncio telling him Pope Francis had named him a bishop. He and his mother, Bonnie Grob, had gone up to their hometown for some appointments and time off.
