Each of these meetings will begin with silent prayer in the church. At 6:30 pm, I will offer some remarks, including an overview of our diocesan protocol for responding to any allegations of misconduct. There will then be an extended opportunity for conversation, comments, and questions from those in attendance. Amy Bloch, Director of Catholic Charities, and Father Brad Pelzel, Vicar General, will accompany me. I pray that this dialogue will continue to promote hope and healing among the faithful.
