Letter to Priests after Labor Day Gathering

WASHINGTON D.C.
Archdiocese of Washington D.C.

September 6, 2018

By Cardinal Donald Wuerl

Dear Brother Priest,

Thank you for your participation in the time of prayer and discernment on Monday, September 3, Labor Day, prior to the gathering for the annual cookout.

In that hour and a half long session, I clearly heard and saw expressed your support for survivors, the people of this archdiocese, and for me personally.

However, the purpose of that meeting was to discern how best I can serve this Church.

Among the many observations was that the archdiocese would be well served by new leadership to help move beyond the current confusion, disappointment and disunity.
