Campus Ministry: Addressing Abuse in the Church

September 7, 2018

In the midst of continued revelations of sexual abuse and abuse of power in the Catholic Church, Campus Ministry would like to offer a few resources for addressing and processing these revelations:

  • Mass and Holy Hour: On the eve of the celebration of their central feast day, the Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows, the local Holy Cross community will be offering a Mass and Holy Hour of prayer for the well-being of survivors of abuse and for the healing of the whole Body of Christ. This will occur on Thursday, Sept 13, starting with Mass at 5 p.m. in the Chapel of Christ the Teacher. Holy Hour will continue until 6:30 p.m. All are welcome for the Mass and Holy Hour.
  • Local Church: Archbishop Sample has offered thoughtful words in response the latest revelations, found through this link.
  • National News: a good outlet for balanced reporting on recent revelations can be found through https://cruxnow.com – a news site dedicated to independent coverage of the Vatican and the Catholic Church.
  • Conversations: We have a wonderful community of thoughtful individuals here on campus. Take time to check in with one another and look for opportunities for conversation as a way to process all that is coming out.

If you have questions, comments, or the need for conversation, you are welcome to reach out to Fr. Jim Gallagher, C.S.C., directly: gallaghe@up.edu or x8011.
