As in past years, before the Mass for Hope and Healing, on October 19, 2019 at Holy Family Church there will be a 75-minute peace circle at 9:30 a.m. The event is open to all victim-survivors of sexual abuse. The theme of the peace circle will be “To be understood as to understand,” taken from the Mass entrance song. All are welcome to attend to show their support.
