Bishop Richard J. Malone, in conjunction with the Presbyteral Council, Vicars Forane, and the Movement to Restore Trust, will host a series of listening sessions across the Diocese of Buffalo during the next few months. The sessions will include Malone praying with the faithful, hearing their thoughts and comments, inviting discussion, and offering summary remarks regarding the mission of the diocese and its parishes, schools and other organizations.

The 2019 listening sessions are designed for the bishop to hear the concerns of the engaged parishioners and for them to offer recommendations for future initiatives regarding pastoral care, spiritual care and ministry. Recognizing the importance of the input and empowerment of the laity working in collaboration with pastors, these listening sessions are an opportunity to create constructive partnerships, receive feedback, and formulate next steps to address the effects of the clergy sexual abuse crisis and other matters of concern.

Locally, a listening session will be held from 9:30-11:30 a.m. Saturday, June 15, at St. Vincent de Paul Parish, St. Leo site, in Niagara Falls.
