We are excited to share a Letter to Bishop Zubik with you in the hopes you would add your signature to the Letter, and join many others in doing so. Over 90 people in five Focus Groups of Catholics for Change in Our Church (CCOC) worked on the content of the Letter. This included efforts at the gathering of CCOC held at St. Thomas More on Feb. 15. It was a terrific meeting with over 60 people present! A lot of care was put into crafting the letter and sharing their thoughts and passions of many within it. Those of us involved in this endeavor are proud of the work we did, and the result!
