The cards will be brought up with the offertory at Mass and included in our prayers during November As Parish Priest of St Macartan's, Mornington, I would like to show my concern and acknowledge the shameful reality of sexual abuse by many clergy, religious and other Church personnel, which have brought so much suffering to so many people. The victims of this crime deserve our compassion, our admiration and our support. We should work together to minimise the risk of such things ever happening again. We pray for healing and forgiveness which could help us to
