A Call for Fasting

The Brothers of Saint John support the many Bishops, priests and religious communities that call for full transparency in light of the scandals that have hit the Catholic Church in the United States. Let us all offers up acts of penance and prayers for the victims. Let us also pray for our leaders in our Church who will need to make difficult decisions to prevent this from ever happening again. We call upon those who would like to join us, to fast on the 15th of September, the Memorial of Our Lady of Sorrows, imploring our Lady to cleanse, heal and renew our Church.

Clarification

The Congregation of Saint John has taken note of the news concerning the excommunication of an ex-member of the Congregation of St John who might wrongly be presented by news outlets as a Brother of Saint John. This person left the Congregation of Saint John 25 years ago. He is therefore no longer part of our religious institute, holds no responsibility in its name, and maintains no institutional connection with our Congregation. The excommunication decision concerns only the individual himself and pertains to his personal situation. It in no way concerns the Congregation of Saint John. The activities, commitments, and positions taken by this person are his own and do not in any way involve the Congregation of Saint John. The Congregation of Saint John reaffirms its full communion with the Catholic Church and its faithful attachment to the Holy Father. The Congregation carries out its mission in service to the Church, in communion with the bishops of the dioceses where the brothers are sent.
