The Diocese of St. Cloud's Vicar for Canonical Affairs, Fr. Matthew, issued a statement on March 19th in regard to a local group and their recent communication with parishioners. The following is the Diocese's statement to parishioners:
"In recent weeks, some of you may have received fliers, petitions, and invitations from a group calling itself Our Catholic Revival, as well as notices about meetings led by canon lawyer Philip Gray regarding Bishop Neary's All Things New pastoral planning process. I want to be clear that these meetings, messages, and petitions are not sponsored, supported, or authorized by our parish, our Area Catholic Community, or the Diocese of St. Cloud. They do not have ecclesiastical approval."
