Dear Members,
We are beginning another year of the liturgical calendar, usually starting in Advent. It’s a season of hope, love, peace and joy.

There are two issues I would like to comment on at this time. At the time of writing this message, six teenage boys were charged after being positively iden-tified for raping a thirteen-year-old girl. The boys have been charged with, “rape, forcible abduction, knowing and producing child pornography and dis-tributing child pornography”.
