Letter to a Suffering Church available soon for all parishioners

July 30, 2019A note from Fr. Bob:
Brothers and sisters, I’m sure most of you are aware of the horrific sexual abuse crisis that has haunted our Church, especially in recent months. We all grieve the wicked ways that priests have abused children, seminarians, and other vulnerable people. I know many of us feel, understandably, demoralized and defeated.With these scandals in mind, our parish has decided to share with you a new book by Bishop Robert Barron. Bishop Barron is a bishop in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles and he’s the founder of Word on Fire Catholic Ministries. His book is titled Letter to a Suffering Church: A Bishop Speaks on the Sexual Abuse Crisis.
We’ve ordered a copy of the book for every family in the parish, and I think you’ll find it helpful and uplifting. Here’s a short video from Bishop Barron introducing the book: https://vimeo.com/334757843
Again, our parish has ordered a copy of this new book for every family in the parish, and my hope is that you read it slowly and attentively. Then after finishing the book, I encourage you to pass it on to a friend or family member who could use it, to anyone struggling with the Church during this crisis.
God bless,
Fr. Bob
Fr. Robert Garrow
