Many thanks to the over 200 parishioners who participated in our Town Hall meeting last Sunday. The primary purpose of our meeting was to listen to the concerns of the Blessed Sacrament family regarding the current church scandal. A panel of parishioner experts were available to assist the priests in answering questions as well as to facilitate discussion. Our meeting lasted two hours with about 40 people respectfully and passionately voicing their concerns. Many offered concrete recommendations.

Three volunteer recorders took minutes that will be used to develop our next steps. In collaboration with the Pastoral  Council and interested parishioners, a statement will be formulated to send to the Bishops of our Diocese as well as a plan as to what more we as a parish can do. A website will be set up by the end of the month that will allow parishioners to continue the conversation. It  was also recommended that additional meetings be scheduled over the next year. We are grateful to all of the volunteers who helped organize this event.
