3rd Sunday of Lent 3 March 24 2019 Dear People of St. Luke and Guests, As we continue our Lenten Journey from ‘Ashes to the Living Font’ and allow From the Pastor God’s Spirit to renew the grace of our Baptism; recommit to prayer, fasting and almsgiving; stand in solidarity with our Muslim sisters and brothers following the senseless violence of the Mosque shootings in New Zealand; promise to pray for our ‘Neighbors in Nigeria;’ prayerfully discern our financial contribution to the Missionary Cooperation Appeal made by Fr. Kenneth Amadi last Sunday partnering with our Sister Parish of St. Pius X, Gbagalapa,(Abuja), Nigeria, and allow the truth of God’s Word to quench our thirsts with the ‘Woman at the Well,’ I offer the most recent message from Listecki regarding what he, as our Archbishop, plans to do as we move forward with the Clergy Abuse Crisis and Scandal. Every Sunday I hear of the hurt, pain, embarrassment and anger which has been caused by clergy sexual abuse and the systemic hierarchical cover-up. We continue to pray for and support anyone who has been violated in any way. Fr. Augustine

Dear Friends in Christ, March 22, 2019 I was ordained a bishop in January 2001. A year later, in January 2002, the Boston Globe reported the first of many articles about clergy sexual abuse of minors. Never in my entire priesthood could I have imagined such a thing and yet, as a bishop for 18 years and your archbishop for the last nine, clergy sexual abuse has never been “off my radar.” It continues to be (and rightfully so) at the forefront of our pastoral ministry in the Church and in this archdiocese. Let’s face facts; abuse survivors were not always believed or treated justly by the archdiocese. Whether it was clericalism, a misguided intent to protect the institutional Church or the desire to avoid scandal, regard for priest offenders often trumped care for victims. For this, I apologize to abuse survivors and to the faithful of this archdiocese. You deserved better. Formal outreach to abuse survivors began in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee in 1989, and the approach to working with abuse survivors began to change. Clinical Psychologist Dr. Liz Piasecki worked assisting abuse survivors, arranging for professional therapy and counseling. In 2002, that outreach was renewed, including the hiring of a victim assistance coordinator. In early 2004, the establishment of an independent mediation system provided financial compensation and other support. But some offenders were not held accountable. In 2002, six priests with allegations of sexual abuse of a minor remained in active ministry. After the U.S. Bishops adopted the Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People in 2002, which includes a “zero tolerance” provision, those six priests were removed from ministry. In 2002, I think most Catholics were simply shocked to read the news reports of priests abusing minors. As I said, during my priesthood, never could I have imagined such a thing. But today, I think most Catholics react in anger, an anger which I share. News of cover-ups from years past, and information that some dioceses haven’t adhered to the demands of the Charter, has broken people’s trust in the Church and its leaders, namely bishops. Just one bishop’s errant actions (or inaction) is enough to taint every bishop. However, we know it hasn’t been just one bishop. Report after report has shown a pattern of mismanagement of the responsibility placed upon each of us as members of the Church hierarchy. My responsibility in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee is to rebuild trust, informing people what has been done here in our archdiocese, without becoming defensive to the legitimate questions and valid concerns people have raised. Since the Charter was adopted, the Archdiocese of Milwaukee has been rigorous in its adherence to its every aspect, and has passed every outside, independent Charter audit. Regardless, now is the time to, once again, renew our commitments in response to clergy sexual abuse of minors. So, I come before you as a member of the wounded Body of Christ with the following pledge of transparency, and with a commitment to action for myself and for the Church entrusted to my care. I renew my commitment of care and concern for those who have been survivors of clergy sexual abuse of a minor. I apologize to those who have been hurt by these priest-perpetrators, and by the Church’s inability to adequately respond. I apologize for any of my own actions that have been a detriment to healing. I promise to meet personally with any abuse survivor or family member who would like to meet with me. I will find a way for abuse survivors to tell their stories and be heard, and for those stories to be honored. I pledge my commitment to zero tolerance. No priest with a substantiated allegation of sexual abuse of a minor can or will ever serve as a priest in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. The names of diocesan priest offenders will continue to be posted on the archdiocesan website along with information about where they worked and files related to their abuse. Any allegation of sexual abuse involving a minor will be immediately reported to civil or police authorities. All bishops, priests and lay parish/school staffs will follow the mandatory reporting laws of the State of Wisconsin. I will expand the involvement of lay men and women on our Community Advisory Board and Priest Placement Board, and new members are in the process of being added to both groups. I will establish a process for reporting misconduct or mismanagement by bishops. I will support a national system implemented by the US Conference of Catholic Bishops to do the same. I will direct my staff to cooperate with law enforcement, and meet with the Milwaukee County District Attorney to verify that clergy personnel files have been reviewed to ensure nothing has been missed in regard to criminal conduct on the Saint Luke Catholic Church 4 Brookfield, Wisconsin part of any member of the clergy, including bishops. As a sign of our repentance, and because of the pain caused to abuse survivors and their families with regard to the handling of sexual abuse allegations, I will change the name of the Archbishop Cousins Catholic Center, and ask the parish of the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist to remove the name of Archbishop Rembert Weakland from its parish pastoral center. This is similar to decisions made by other bishops throughout the . I will remind parishes of our policy that buildings, centers, gym floors, cafeterias, etc., are not to be named after a priest or bishop, regardless of the esteem in which they may be held by the parish. I will respectfully listen to the People of God in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, and hear their suggestions, concerns and reservations. It will take time to restore the trust that has been lost, and our response may not always be perfect. I promise you my tireless efforts. Each step we take is progress, and if rooted in love, will bear great fruit. With these actions, we renew our commitment and call to LOVE ONE ANOTHER. Most Reverend Jerome E. Listecki Archdiocese of Milwaukee Annual Mass of Atonement All are invited to join Archbishop Listecki on Monday, April 1 at 6 p.m. at Immaculate Conception Parish in Bay View for the annual Mass of Atonement. This Mass is a faith-filled, heartfelt and visible action step as we continue our path of reconciliation and resolution.

The following email appeared within minutes of formatting the above message for the bulletin. I offer it as a further clarification: Dear Father, Deacon, Parish Director, Later today, my weekly Love One Another email will focus on the archdiocesan response to clergy sexual abuse. In it, I am announcing my decision to change the name of both the Cousins Center and the Weakland Center (at the Cathedral). This has been a long-festering issue facing the archdiocese since before my arrival, with strong emotions on both sides. I wanted you to hear about my decision directly from me before the inevitable media reports hit the news. I am not here to pass judgment on what Archbishop Cousins or Archbishop Weakland did or didn’t do. It is easy to criticize decisions made decades ago, through the lens of today. My motivation is not to heap judgment on those decisions, but rather to simply acknowledge the pain incurred by abuse survivors. We have seen similar decisions made by bishops in other dioceses across the U.S. If changing these signs can aid healing and reconciliation, then I want to move forward. As I called for in the Synod Declaration in 2014, the new name for the archdiocesan pastoral center will be Mary Mother of the Church Pastoral Center, a title for Mary used by Pope Paul VI, at the end of the . Watch for my full message later today. (printed above) With assurance of prayers, I am, Sincerely yours in Christ, Most Reverend Jerome E. Listecki Archdiocese of Milwaukee

The message below was sent to the Imam at ISM Brookfield/Masjid Al-Noor, Shaykh Noman Hussain a member of BEGIN (Brookfield, Elm Grove, Interfaith, Network) of which we of St. Luke are also members: “Shaykh Noman and our Sisters and Brothers of the Islamic Society, especially of the ISMWest, Yes, 'we stand united against hate.' The senseless violence and killing recently in New Zealand is a sad commentary on our earth family. Last Sunday we, here at St. Luke, paused in solidarity; prayed for those killed; injured and frightened, as well as for an end to 'White Supremacy' and hatred. This was one of our intercessions: "That as a people we may see the evil of ‘White Supremacy’ which instills hate for immigrants and others; for the 50 people killed in the mosque shootings in New Zealand; for their families and friends; for members of the Islamic Society in Greater Milwaukee, and all who are once again frightened by senseless violence, we pray: Lord, hear our prayer." Please know that we of St. Luke Catholic Church, Brookfield, keep all of you in thought and prayer. 'In love, we stand united against hate.' Fr. Augustine, Staff, Council and Members of St. Luke
