A Wichita priest issued his congregation a message of hope following recent abuse allegations against Catholic church leaders around the country.
“I ask for your forgiveness on behalf of the church to know my own sorrow and how I am sorry this has happened,” said Fr. Drew Heiman Sunday morning.
The priest at Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church addressed a topic that many in the faith have shied away from.
“It is a great sadness because there have been priests, there have been bishops who have prevented people from coming to Jesus through these very abuses,” said Fr. Drew during his homily.
The church taped the sermon and posted it on its Facebook page.
