Parish Conversation about the Crisis of Abuse and Coverup in the Church

On October 7, Dr. Patricia Kelly led about 60 parishioners in a difficult but meaningful conversation about the scandal and coverup. I believe it helped us express the pain, confusion and frustration that we are feeling. It helped us to listen to and try to support each other. This crisis affects us deeply and in many different ways. We will be dealing with this for a long time.  My hope is that it makes us a more compassionate, a more caring church.
