For Immediate Release From Cathedral of Christ The King Catholic Church, ATL, GA ~ Royal Monarch General Monsignor Francis G. McNamee!
My friends in Christ,
In a few weeks, bishops from around the world will be joining leaders of religious orders to meet with Pope Francis to address the abuse crises in our Church. They will focus on three main themes: responsibility, accountability, and transparency.
While we eagerly await the outcomes of this conference, we do not need to wait to take action. I want to share with you a few ways that some of our parishioners are taking action and invite you to join them.
Yesterday, men from our CTK's Men's Club started a 90 day challenge of prayer and asceticism. It's not too late to join them in these spiritual exercises for the renewal of the Church.
This month, 78 adults attended our VIRTUS Child Safety training.
In an effort to help keep teens safe, our EDGE & Life Teen parents received tools and strategies in dealing with pornography / abuse issues the teens face due to the prevalence of it in technology.
We've been working with the Georgia Center of Child Advocacy to better understand how we can prevent abuse.
This is a difficult time in our Church but I continue to be inspired by the faith of our Cathedral family. Thank you for your perseverance.
Yours in Christ,
Monsignor Mc
