To Anon.
Thanks for your post, we would love to have a conversation with you about your thoughts. We believe in the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the teaching of the Church. We would like to enter the discussion with you, however, we do not feel that a public anonymous debate, where you do not have to substantiate your unfounded comments, is the mature or Christian way to do things. What we do, we do in faith, integrity and honesty. We believe we are all part of one church and we intend to work with all people to discern the best way to proclaim the Gospel. We are open to suggestions and criticism and would appreciate your honesty especially if it helps us develop our ministry as we do love the Gospel that we serve. However, we would like to have this conversation in a manner more fitting and in line with the faith we profess and not by anonymous and unfounded comments. If you are serious and you too truly love your faith then we will discuss your concerns. We look forward to hearing from you. Please communicate directly to Fr. Dermott Donnelly, details available at our contact page.
