A BRIEF UPDATE ON DEVELOPING A SUPPORT GROUP FOR PRIESTS OUT OF MINISTRY We continue to make steady if slow progress. We will not call a meeting of priests out of…

Pat Rogers, reports on The Association of U.S. Catholic Priests’ recently concluded 2015 Assembly, It was held in St. Louis, June 29 – July 2.
The AUSCP say that they continue to seek ways to connect with other organizations that are vital to the mission and ministry of the Church.
You can see more about the AUSCP at their website, www.uscatholicpriests.org, or at their Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/AUSCPriests

This is a very interesting and encouraging development in Clogher.  As you can see from the report, they are really facing the issues and problems that all of us as priests are confronted with. We, the leadership, would love if other dioceses could maybe take a lead from this, and begin to organise similar type meetings. I am aware that such discussion is probably done best at local level, but if anyone could come up with how we might pursue these agendas at a national level we would love to hear from them.  The organiser of the ACP in Clogher is Jimmy McPhillips.  I am sure Jimmy would be more than happy to give advice to any other group wishing to follow their lead.
