Lenten Events

Lenten Vigil Watch at the Boston Chancery

In the Boston, MA Archdiocese, VOTF members will join other groups for a peace-filled "Silent Watch" that will mark the sorrow felt by so many on behalf of the survivors. Organizers have also spoken of their hope for a just honesty in acts of repentance. The watch will take place at the Chancery, the seat of the Boston archdiocese, from noon to 3 p.m. throughout the forty days of Lent. Other affiliates around the country are planning similar actions. If you are interested in signing up for a day, please contact Andrea Johnson (Survivors Support working group in Wellesley) at andreajohnson@attbi.com.

Special Lenten Program, St. Paul Parish,
Cambridge, MA, Friday March 21, 7:30 pm

The St. Paul's Artists Group will present an original sacred drama entitled, "A Cry Heard at Ramah." This program is an artistic response to the clergy sexual abuse scandal and the continuing crisis in our Church. The artists will use music, dance, and readings from sacred scripture -- plus the personal stories of two survivors, Mark Serrano and Arthur Austin. For more details, contact St. Paul Parish (617-492-2695).
