September 27, 2018
By Archbishop William E. Lori

I will report back to you what I’ve heard and how these heartfelt comments, no matter how hard they are to hear at times, will help to shape necessary reforms in our local Church and how they will inform my own contributions to the urgent conversations that are happening at higher levels of our Church.

The way forward in an age of attention deficit

Each new media technology has given the church new channels for sharing the joy of the Gospel, but the story has not always gotten through.

Praying with children

September 20, 2018
