There will be a wide range of reactions within our parish community to the news this week of Cardinal George Pell’s conviction on historical child sexual abuse charges. We commend all involved in this case to the love of God, and we pray for the Church.
We especially pray for any who have been abused, and for their loved ones. It reminds us to commit ourselves anew to ensure that our parish and our Church is a safe, welcoming place for all, especially the young and the vulnerable.
A statement from the Australian Catholic Bishops’ Conference will be read at each Mass this Sunday. This is also available here.
A Letter to the people of Broken Bay from Rev Dr David Ranson, Administrator, is also here on our website, and a printed copy is available in the foyer.
The priests and parish team wish to support you in any way we can at this time.
