Episode 191 – Catholic School Transitions & Child Safety

Deacon Kevin McCormack, Superintendent of Catholic Schools, joins Bishop Brennan on Big City Catholics to discuss transition plans following the news of seven school closures. While announcing the pursuit of global settlements in sexual abuse cases, Bishop Brennan introduces Maryellen Quinn, Director of the Office for the Protection of Children and Young People, and Elizabeth Harris, Victim Assistance Coordinator, who emphasize the diocese's collaborative efforts of dedication and continued commitment to child protection and safe environment practices. The discussion frames these difficult situations through a Lenten perspective of confronting painful realities while trusting in God's grace for healing and renewal.
