In light of recent Milwaukee Journal Sentinel articles and the information on clergy sexual abuse, which you can read here www.archmil.org/news/ShowNews.asp?ID=2988, I thought it may be helpful to share two important points with you: 1 – All the monies raised through Faith In Our Future will be placed in a separate trust and will be used for educational and faith formation initiatives, not for central office costs or for any expenditures related to clergy sexual abuse.
2 – The Catholic Stewardship Appeal funds ministries throughout the archdiocese and monies raised annually are not used to pay legal fees or settlements with victims/survivors of clergy sexual abuse.
Your past support of the Catholic Stewardship Appeal and the excitement surrounding Faith In Our Future are indeed appreciated. Our efforts to raise funds that will benefit the Catholic community of southeastern Wisconsin are possible because of your dedication and commitment. |
