As I stated previously on May 6, I made a terrible error in judgement on May 4, 2013. I have been committed to making amends and accepting the consequences of my actions. I am grateful that the legal process has been concluded. As a result, my license to drive is suspended for 6 months, I paid the fine determined by the court and will provide 10 hours of community service and attend safety class. I continue to ask forgiveness from all the good people I serve, as well as my family and friends in the Diocese of Worcester and the Diocese of Providence. I am both grateful for and humbled by the support I have received from clergy, parishioners, and the community as I continue to serve to the best of my ability as the Bishop of Worcester. June 4, 2013
