Anne Walsh is the Director of Adult Faith Formation in the Archdiocese of St. John’s.
After 21 years and many appeals, the Archdiocese of St. John’s was eventually found liable on January 14, 2021 by the Supreme Court of Canada for the sexual abuse of untold numbers of victims attending Mount Cashel Orphanage since the 1950s. Over 40 Catholic Church properties, including parish churches, are being sold to compensate the victims. The process continues.
How has this tragic situation impacted the Archdiocese of St John’s and the Roman Catholics in Newfoundland? Anne Walsh is doing ministry in St John’s during these challenging times. Her insights about the Church in Newfoundland can inspire all of us who wonder about the future of the Church in dark times.
Anne Walsh who is the Director of Adult Faith Formation in the Archdiocese of St. John’s will share her reflections on February 19, 2023 in the next presentation of St Basil’s Parish Zoom Series, Conversations for Our Times.
