Dear Parishioners,

Bishop Robert Barron is the founder of WORD ON FIRE AND CATHOLIC MINISTRIES. He is also the Auxiliary Bishop of Los Angeles, California. He has been a priest for thirty-three years and a bishop for four years. On his own, writing as a Catholic, he published a book most recently

Letter to a Suffering Church
A BISHOP SPEAKS ON THE SEXUAL ABUSE CRISIS

He is very clear to write that he is not speaking in the name of his brother bishops, or the United States Catholic Conference of Catholic Bishops, or of the Vatican. He admits he has no authority to do so. He faithfully writes to assist, encourage, and embrace Catholics who may be navigating in very choppy waters these days!

IHM has been presented with several copies of this book. They are available on the table near the sanctuary.

Many blessings,
Father Jim
