The San Diego Diocese is holding listening sessions across the diocese. These meetings will focus on seeking input from people in the pews on ways to strengthen the voice of the laity in reviewing allegations of clergy misconduct involving both young people and vulnerable adults, on creating a framework for accountability that applies to bishops in their administrative actions and personal lives, and on listening to those who have been victimized by clerical sexual abuse either directly or in their families. It is Bishop McElroy’s wish with these sessions that “God’s grace be our only guide.”
The listening session for parishioners in the Oceanside Deanery is at Church of the Nativity, 6309 El Apajo Road, Rancho Santa Fe on Wednesday, Oct 17 at 7 p.m.
