Last Fall Our Mother of Good Counsel hosted two parish conversations led by Patricia Kelly, Ph.D. about the clergy abuse scandal and

cover up. There has been much positive feedback from parishioners about the opportunity to discuss these issues in an open and honest forum. We will continue this conversation at 1:00 pm on Sunday, March 3 in the Social Center of our school building by hosting Dan Cellucci. Dan is the CEO of Catholic Leadership Institute, which is an apostolate providing leadership consulting and training to bishops, priests, deacons and religious and lay leaders in more than 100 dioceses throughout the country. We are fortunate that its headquarters is located in Wayne and that Dan is willing to share his experiences and insights with us. Dan’s talk is titled: “The Truth of Where We Are as a Church and What It Means for Us.” We encourage all interested parishioners to join us.

If you plan to attend, please let us know so that we can have adequate seating arrangements prepared. Please send an email message to Donna Descano at ddescano@omgcparish.net,
