Where we go from here

Bernadette Howell, Spiritual Health Practitioner - October 29, 2024


Breaking silence. Confronting clergy abuse. 


The Church is not ‘tradition’. The Church is not the past. The Church is where we go from here.”

This week, I want to speak to three different organizations you can join should you wish to actively play a part in ‘where we go from here’.  She lists: Catholic Church Reform International (CCRI), Concerned Lay Catholics (CLC), and Outrage Canada.


You can be a fully involved member of the Catholic Church, active in your own parish and still become a member of Outrage Canada or you can be someone with no religious affiliation whatsoever, and still show your support by becoming a member of Outrage Canada.

I would encourage you all to add voice and become members of Outrage Canada.
