A Note from Ray Joyce - First Impressions
At this early stage in my tenure
(ten weeks) I think it’s important
to share my first impressions. I’ve spent much of this time listening
to some of the many voices that make up Voice of the Faithful as well as representatives
of related organizations. The recent Convocation was a wonderful opportunity
to meet so many of you face-to-face and to listen further. I’ve noticed
many common attributes among VOTF members; faithful, compassionate, collaborative
and pro-active. However, it’s the level of commitment, after more than
three years, for many, that is really quite extraordinary. Despite the continuing
problems in our Church specific to survivors, priests of integrity and laity,
the level of commitment from VOTF members never waivers. And in Indianapolis,
based on what I heard, that commitment was further affirmed. It’s an
honor to be serving so many faithful voices. I welcome your first impressions
of me.
Peace,
Ray Joyce
