DIoCnSE OIr \7.INONA Offi"" Tl," Bishop PÀSToRAL CçNTTn "f May 18, 2005 Dear I had an opportunity to speak with since our meeting here at the Diocesan Þastoral Centei. He contacted Bob and they talked about their feelings and whether or not they would be open to reconciliation. They both expressed that they do not wish to pursue it at this time, I understand that this is a disappointment for you, but invite you to continue to try, A big part of feeling whole again can happen when we find solace ourselves. Time is a greaihealer 4nd perhaps, in time, there will be a conversion of hea¡t for other family members. I'd like to take this opportunity to invite you and your wife, to the Ecumenical Heali4&_gervice for Victims of Abuse and Violence, This service will be held at the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart in Winona on Thursãay ,May 26'h at7:00 p.m. All the churches in our a¡ea received notice of this service and have been invited' It is our hope that many will join together to pray for those who are hurting. I understand you would have to travel a distance to join us. If you cannot attend, please know that you will be in my prayers as we lift up all victims of abuse and those families affected by this violence. I would welcome seeing you again. I will continue to pray for reconciliation for you and Most Rev. Bernard J Bishop of Winona 55 \7est SttLort Street r PO Bo* 588 r \Øinona, MN 55987 Täl"pLor", 5071454-4643 .
