STATEMENT OF BISHOP MICHAEL MULHALL

CONCERNING THE CHARGES BROUGHT AGAINST
MONSIGNOR ROBERT BORNE
As Bishop of the Diocese of Pembroke, I wish to express my deep concern and that
of the diocese for the people who have brought forth allegations against Monsignor
Robert Borne. Our commitment is to work in an open and cooperative way with the
civil authorities as they endeavor to unfold the truth. Many persons are deeply
troubled by these events and we will do all we can to express a spirit of honesty
and compassion to all concerned. Our mission as a Church is to build a supportive
community. We wish to allow this mandate to inspire us as to how we can assist
all persons affected by these matters.
>PLEASE NOTE: Father Proulx will be away this week. Our thanks to
Father John McElligott who is kindly assisting us with his ti time
me
for ministry during my absence.
>PARISH CONSULTING COMMITTEES: A combined gathering of our Pastoral Council,
Property and Finance Committee and Liturgy Committee will be held Wednesday evening.
Our review of the current year and forward planning assures us of an opportunity to
continue to celebrate and renew our faith.

copy and share it.
