| Dear Fathers, We, the members of our parish Vocations
Committee, wish to express our sincere concern and support for you in
your time of suffering. Our feelings are motivated by Christian charity
and compassion.
You have been a valuable priest to our dioceses and the communities
you have served. Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. God give
you the strength to look forward. God continue to gift you with a
steadfast faith in His providence. May hope be at your side and charity
reign in your heart.
We also apologize for the lack of sensitivity you may have received
and the hurt you have suffered. May you soon be able to put behind your
feelings of anger, depression or despair, and remember them no more.
We are with you and the others who have been accused.
Sincerely,
The Vocations Committee |
