Questions for personal reflection based on this Sunday’s Readings…
My Chosen One
“Here is my servant whom I uphold, my chosen one with whom I am pleased,
upon whom I have put my spirit…” –Isaiah 42:1-2
Do I feel special? Do I feel called by God?
All of us who live share in the life of the Father, creator and sustainer of all life. More importantly, all of us who have been Baptized in Christ are servants of God, as sons and daughters, and sealed in the Holy Spirit.
Do I even think about my Baptism? What day was I Baptized? Am I grateful for the gift and mystery of my Baptism? Have I lived so as to make God pleased?

DIOCESE ADDS NAMES TO LIST OF REDIBLY ACCUSED INDIVDUALS
Following the release of the Grand Jury report last year, Bishop Bambera made a promise that he would be more open and transparent in the way that the Diocese handles occurrences of child sexual abuse. That commitment remains true.
In August, the Diocese published on its website a list of all clergy, staff and volunteers who had been credibly accused of child sexual abuse. Since then, additional victims have come forward. Eleven new names have been added to the online list. Those new names are listed below. We will continue to alert you periodically in the case that additional individuals are added to this list.
If you are aware of additional allegations of wrongdoing or any information that should be included on this list, please contact our Victim Assistance Coordinator Mary Beth Pacuska at 570-862-7551 or Monsignor Thomas Muldowney, Vicar General, at 570-207-2269. If you have suffered abuse by clergy or anyone working on behalf of the Diocese, you are encouraged to contact Mary Beth Pacuska.
These names have been added to the original list of credibly accused individuals:
DIOCESAN CLERGY Polcha, Michael C. Pulicare, Michael J.
MEMBERS OF RELIGIOUS ORDERS Bourbon, Francis C. (S.J.) Long, Arthur J. (S.J.) Fertal, Joseph (SVD) Pisaneschi, Sister Clare (M.P.F.) Garrity, Stephen M. (S.J.) Rebovich, John (OSJ)
