Domestic Violence Awareness Month 2017:
On October 7, 2017, The Reverend Monsignor John J. Enzler celebrated the Vigil Mass for Family Peace in the National Shrine of the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception. Msgr. Enzler, CEO and President of Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Washington, is a passionate advocate for family peace. During his homily, Msgr. Enzler shared some harrowing statistics while also encouraging each of us to take action by praying and educating ourselves about domestic violence in our own parishes and communities. Please take the time to listen to his message, and let us share in the joyful hope we have as advocates for all people's safety and dignity. |
