Cardinal Tobin has released a letter updating us on the “We Are His Witnesses” initiative. Following is a brief summary: The leadership of this initiative spent hours reading through and discussing responses from parish sessions and letters written directly to Cardinal Tobin. While the initiative will continue, the timing of any actions has been changed. Cardinal Tobin will update all on June 12, 2026. In the meantime, Cardinal Tobin asks all parishioners to seriously consider these 3 questions: 1) Where are we now – truly and realistically? 2) Where is God calling us to go? 3) How will we get there together? Cardinal Tobin asks that we prayerfully look at all aspects of parish life as well as any outreach we do; we need to reach our parishioners AND those outside the Church. These questions and our answers are important to the future of the Church.
To read Cardinal Tobin’s letter in its entirety, please go the Archdiocesan website (www.rcan.org) or take a paper copy from the church vestibule.
