The Fulton Sheen Cause
On February 3, 2008, the cause for the beatification of the Servant of God, Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, was officially sent to the Congregation for the Causes of the Saints at the Vatican. Since that time, there has been a renewed excitement about the cause of Archbishop Sheen’s beatification.

Jenky, CSC, Bishop of Peoria, has various speakers – lay and ordained – available to give parish talks, missions or homilies about the life and witness of this Apostle of the Media.

Educational/Support Group for Family Members
of those who were sexually abused as minors:
Program for Family Members of Those Sexually Abused as Children
The Archdiocesan Office of Assistance Ministry has developed a new program for family members of those who have been sexually abused as children by priests, deacons, or other employees of the Catholic Church in the Archdiocese of Chicago.
This program will focus on education regarding church related sexual abuse of minors and will include open discussion among group participants. There will be four sessions, each lasting two hours. The sessions will be held on designated Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 12 noon at the Archdiocese Pastoral Center, 155 E. Superior. Participants will be asked to commit to all four sessions so that the continuity of information and group cohesion are not affected by absences of group members.
The first session will take place on Saturday, September 27. There is no fee for participation. Parking will be available at the Holy Name Cathedral lot at State Street and Superior. Those interested in attending should contact Kathleen Leggdas at 312-751-5268 or at kleggdas@archchicago.org
