From June 2018:
Archbishop Robert J. Carlson will preside at the Prayer Service for Spiritual Healing at 7 p.m. Tuesday, July 24, at Sacred Heart Church, 17 Ann Avenue in Valley Park. Victims/survivors of physical, sexual, emotional or verbal abuse by anyone — clergy, family, friends, co-workers or strangers — are invited to attend the prayer service. In addition, family members and friends of survivors are encouraged to participate, as well as those who are involved in helping people who have been abused, those who work to prevent abuse, and those who want to pray for healing and reconciliation as well as the prevention of abuse. The Office of Child and Youth Protection in collaboration with the Safe Environment Program, and the Office of Sacred Worship are organizing and sponsoring the prayer service.
