Divine Mercy Parish

To the faithful at St. Benedict the Moor Church, may the Holy Spirit continue to lead and guide you.
When I was with you in February, I asked Fr. Freedy and Dr. Greta Stokes Tucker to form a group to
provide recommendations that would address the issues you raised. The Task Group recently submitted
its work, which I will review and respond to in the coming weeks. In the meantime, I thank the Task
Group members for their assistance and diligence, particularly in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
They are Ms. Katharine Dansby-Dean, Ms. Charelise Davis, Mrs. Diana James, Mr. Conrad Johnson,                              Mrs. Janice Simmons, Dr. Darrell Rubin, Ms. Shelley Sims, and Ms. Gwendolyn Young, Diocesan National Black
Catholic Congress Leadership Team.

May the Risen Christ fill your hearts with joy and peace.

Bishop David Zubik
