Letter of His Holiness Pope Francis to The People of God:
Pope Francis has responded to new reports of clerical sexual abuse and the ecclesial cover-up of abuse. In an impassioned letter addressed to the whole People of God, he calls on the Church to be close to victims in solidarity, and to join in acts of prayer and fasting in penance for such “atrocities”.
Copies of this recent letter are available on the Parish Book Stand. This letter can also be read on the Parish website.
