Twenty-fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time

We are continuing our listening sessions about the ongoing sexual abuse issues in the larger
Catholic Church. The third session will be in the auditorium on Sunday, September 16, from 11am
until noon. You need not have participated in the first two sessions in order to be part of this
one. With respect to this issue, we are grateful to have the expertise of both David Nolan and
Carol Mitchell. David facilitates a recovery group for sexual abuse survivors and Carol is the
Director of our Spiritual Director/Companionship programs.
