THE SODALITY OF OUR LADY leadership Prefect Under the of Anthony J. Stringer '57, the Sodality inaugurated a program designed to incorporate the rules and activities of the Sodality into the lives of all its members. Rev. Raymond J. Swords, S.J., Spiritual Di- rector, provided the inspiration necessary to implement this program on two levels: the Apostolic and the Spiritual. The Spiritual Program included General Meetings with guest speakers, Chapel Meetings, monthly Spiritual Dis- cussion Meetings and five Days of Recollection. The Apostolic Program was effectively carried out by the four activities committees. The Candidates Committee, headed by Traugott Lawler '58, instructed new candidates in the Sodality way of life.

The '58, Missions Committee, led by James J. O'Connor col- lected over one hundred dollars per week for the Jesuit Missions. Other activities included a closed retreat for Sodalists in November, organization of the Corridor Rosary, May talks by Seniors, and weekly publication of the Ordo of the Mass in English for the use of the student body.

CONFRATERNITY The principal work of the Holy Cross Unit of the Con- fraternity 'of Christian Doctrine is the instruction of the public school children of Worcester and vicinity. Each week OF the one hundred members taught approximately eight hun- dred junior and senior high school students in their home parishes. A practical course of instructions on the Ten CHRISTIAN DOCTRINE Commandments was given this year, and notes on the indi- vidual lessons were prepared and distributed to the students at every class. In order to satisfy the need for trained teachers in future years, twenty-five men were selected from those who at- tended the Methods Course given by the Chairman. Many of these men became instructors during the Spring term, and as many parishes as wanted teachers were supplied with qualified men. The Confraternity's Tenth International Congress was attended by Rev. Martin Ryan, S.J., and the Chairman and Secretary. As was seen by these delegates, the Holy Cross Unit can be proud of the interest and zeal of its members in promoting the work of the Lay Apostolate. John Kelley and a typical class. Sanctuary Society The Sanctuary Society has as its objectives the fostering of special devotion in serving Mass and assisting at the altar in all religious ceremonies. It is for these two reasons that some of the more than two hundred members who make up the Society arise before the rest of the Student Body, don their cassocks and surplices, and go forth "ad altare Dei." Although the members of the Society are its backbone, it could not run smoothly without its officers, under the guid- ance of Mr. Thomas F. O'Malley, S.J., and Mr. Joseph B. Pomeroy, S.J. The officers were Seniors: John Dowd, John Kilfeather, Thomas Gleason, Albert LaValley, Malcolm * Magovern and Eugene Schwartz; Juniors: William Busch, John Conroy, Frederick Kong, Traugott Lawler; Sopho- mores: Edward Cap and Joseph Loftus.

From the Mass of the Holy Ghost to Baccalaureate, the College Choir fulfills its purpose by increasing devotion at daily Mass. The Choir also sings the Mass which closes every social weekend on the campus. Perhaps the most rewarding ex- perience for the Choir is their singing of Christmas carols at St. Vincent's Hospital, St. Ann's Orphanage, the Home for the Aged and our own Christmas Banquet. The week before Christmas vacation was climaxed by the joint sing- ing of the Choir and the student body at the Crib in front of O'Kane Hall. The Moderator was Rev. Joseph D.

Several banquets and picnics were sponsored during the year for Council members. In cooperation with other national organizations, Crusader Council promoted a drive for Hungarian relief and a Blood Drive. A Sports Night was also held, honoring the track team for their vic- tories in the annual Knights of Columbus Track Meet in Boston.

    CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH TRANSITIONAL JUSTICE AND THE LEGACY OF CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH Elizabeth B. Ludwin King* I. INTRODUCTION In 1998, John Geoghan, a Massachusetts priest, was defrocked— stripped of any rights to perform as an ordained priest—for molesting children.1 Four years later, the Archbishop of Boston, Bernard Law, arguably one of the most influential people in the state, resigned from his position upon revelations that he knew of Geoghan’s actions and yet chose to send him to other parishes where he would still be in an environment with minors.2 In other parishes around and outside the United States, similar scenarios were, and had been, occurring for years: priests using their positions in order to engage in sexual acts with minors.3 When survivors began to speak up, they and their families were often offered “hush money” in order to prevent a scandal.4 Although the sexual abuse crisis came to the forefront in 2002 due to the investigative journalist team at the Boston Globe, reports of the sexual abuse of children by members of the clergy had been * Adjunct Professor, University of Denver Sturm School of Law.

Each year as we gather to address significant issues that confront our profession, the setting seems to be appropriate and the topic typically relevant to the time. This year is no exception. In fact it is one of the best conventions I have attended. The focus on leadership was totally on target and the involvement of young architects as presenters of the keynote speakers was not only refreshing but also illustrates the need to offer greater encouragement and support to those entering the profession.

As a result, on October 17, 2003, Governor Mitt Romney established a Commission on Corrections Reform. The Commission, chaired by former Attorney General Scott Harshbarger, convened and conducted a comprehensive review of the Department of Correction. Over the next eight months, the Commission met and conducted a review of our Department’s Governance, Operations and Security, and Programs and Reintegration. On June 30, 2004, the Commission published a report of their findings. The report outlined eighteen major recommendations. In response, the Department of Correction conducted a feasibility review and developed a strategic implementation plan for each recommendation. Subsequently, a Department of Correction Advisory Council was established by Executive Order of Governor Romney. The Advisory Council was established to work with and advocate for the Department of Correction during the implementation of these recommendations. Our Department was pleased to learn that one of the eighteen major recommendations called for a review of the unique issues pertaining to female offenders in our custody.

    SIGNIS STATEMENT SPOTLIGHT 10Th of December 2015 Since Its

    SIGNIS STATEMENT SPOTLIGHT 10th of December 2015 Since its screening in competition in Venice, 2015, and its subsequent screenings at various festivals, then award nominations, including several for Best Film of 2015, the reputation of Spotlight has grown. For the statement by the SIGNIS Jury in Venice, see below. It is primarily a film about investigative journalism, the work of the Boston Globe in 2001. Memories of this kind of film go back to 1976 and the Watergate exposé in All the Presidents Men. At the same time as the release of Spotlight, there was a very powerful film on investigative journalism that is well worth seeing, Truth, about the NBC investigation of George W. Bush’s going into the National Guard to avoid service in Vietnam – showing the detail of investigation but also highlighting the need for consistent verification otherwise the investigation is not credible. The Boston Globe’s investigation focused on sexual abuse, clergy and survivors. This means that it is a film of particular Catholic interest. Cardinal Sean O’Malley, Archbishop of Boston and a member of the papal committee on sexual abuse, wrote a statement in October, acknowledging the realities of abuse in the church, acknowledging that the film treats an important subject. Again, see below. There have been films on clerical sexual abuse since 1990, quite a number, documentaries and feature films. They have been serving as a contribution to an examination of conscience by the church, an acknowledgement of realities for victims and survivors, a critique of the behaviour of church authorities, the need for a recognition of sinfulness in the church.
