Thirty-second Sunday of Ordinary Time

Greetings of peace. This weekend is Veterans Day Weekend. We are grateful to all of the men and women
who have served our country. Blessings on you all.

On November 12-14, in Baltimore, Maryland, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) will gather
for their annual Fall General Assembly. We strongly encourage them to take up the pressing issue of the
sexual abuse crisis, particularly the issue of how such matters are routinely handled by each local bishop.
There clearly needs to be some kind of lay review board or some other oversight mechanism currently not
envisioned by existing Canon Law. We pray for their meeting. May they have wisdom and courage!

The friars at the Shrine continue to be grateful for all of the good work of the laypeople who drive so many
of the ministries here at the Shrine. Thank you for your work, your prayers, your encouragement, and your
financial contributions.

Have a great week.

Fr. Thomas Conway, OFM

Executive Director
