As Father Rudi mentioned last weekend, our top priority is the safety of our children. In an effort to create a safe environment Father Rudi has asked that all adults, especially that work in any capacity with our youth or are involved in any church activities, complete the online Virtus Safe Environment Online Training available on the Diocesan website.
Go to catholiclubbock.org. On the homepage click on the Safe Environment tab at the top which will take you to the online training. There is no cost for this one-hour course. At the end you will be able to print out a certificate and you will be listed as having completed the training for Holy Spirit. Father Rudi will have access to a list of those that have completed training.

Dear Parishioners, “Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” The saddest time in the history of the Catholic Church in the United States is the child abuse cases in the diocese of Pennsylvania and other dioceses. We are bombarded with this news day in and day out. I try not to think about it, for every time I ponder, my eyes well up and my brain shuts down. “To the one who is given more, more is expected”, said Jesus. We priests and bishops are held in a higher standard and we have failed terribly at a basic human level. Beholding Jesus crucified on the cross was always difficult for me. For the sacrifice He did for me and us. Now that I see these abused children nailed to the cross, I see the sacrifice they are called to. Nailed to the sin of abusive adults numbs my whole being. I pray with tears to Jesus, “Let these nailed because of our sin, let them please die in You so they will rise with You to new life, whole and complete.” The horrible scars that we have inflicted on them have taken away their freedom to live a life as a child of God.
From within people, from their hearts, come evil thoughts, unchastity, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, licentiousness, envy, blasphemy, arrogance, folly. All these evils come from within and they defile. Mark 7:21-23
