The VOTF National Council
of Representatives will meet at Our Lady Queen of Peace in Arlington, VA,
Nov. 12-13, a date and place selected to coincide with the Nov. 14-17 gathering
of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops in Washington, D.C.
VOTF Representatives will
discuss the ongoing effort to develop action plans for selected resolutions
from the Indianapolis Convocation in July. They will discuss proposals for
removing supervision of priest retirement funds from control of the bishops,
possible organization of a national day of healing, organization of a new
financial accountability team, mutual visitation among dioceses, and principles
for independent judicial review of actions taken by a diocesan bishop.
Also on the agenda is
a presentation and discussion about VOTF financial matters, and reports from
the Board of Trustees, the Officers, and the Bylaws Committee.
Sessions will begin at
9 a.m. November 12 and conclude at midday on November 13. Mass is scheduled
for 6 p.m. Saturday evening.
As with all meetings of
the National Representative Council, all members are welcome to attend. For
