Listening Sessions
Bishop Ricken held listening sessions at parishes throughout the diocese in regard to the abuse crisis. In addition to voicing their opinions and concerns, people were able to submit questions to the bishop. His responses to major themes that appeared in those questions are detailed in a 4-part series: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4. You will also find these in the Action Steps to Accountability summary link below.
