As its first official act of 2019, the Holy Trinity Parish Leadership Council approved the formation of a new Parish commission. For the past few months, a small group of parishioners has been meeting to discern a meaningful path forward for the Parish, following the revelations of additional abuse cases and leadership failures in the Roman Catholic Church.
For over 15 years, Holy Trinity Parish has complied with the safe environment protocols established by the Church and the Diocese, but these times call for deeper engagement.
Accordingly, the new committee, the “Transparency Accountability Solidarity and Commitment Force” or TASC Force is formed to engage the whole Parish more fully in the following initiatives:-
Ensuring the protection and safeguarding of children and vulnerable adults from abuse by clergy, staff or affiliated laypeople (“Abuse”) when they are on HTCCD’s campus;
-
Encouraging transparency and accountability related to these Parish initiatives and to the Abuse crisis in the wider Roman Catholic Church;
-
Standing in solidarity with survivors of Abuse;
-
Demonstrating commitment to the safety of children and vulnerable adults through Parish education and enforcement.
An official announcement and call to action will be made at all the Masses later in February.
