Race, Riots, and Renewal: An Open Conversation with the CFRs

70 Minute Watch - By Fr. Mark Mary

Ascension Presents

Fr. Mark-Mary of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal (CFR) introduces Fr. Pierre Toussaint, CFR and Fr. Agustino Torres, CFR as they have an open dialogue about racial division in the Church.

"We really are listening. We really are suffering. Real tears have been shed. We’re not PR people. We’re priests. We’re spiritual fathers and our spiritual sons and daughters are suffering. If any of you suffers, we suffer with you. Ascension Presents has graciously agreed to host a live Q and A on their YouTube channel, so that we can hear your stories, gain insight into your particular sufferings, and respond as best we can to your questions…If you are angry with us, we want to hear it. If you are confused by us, we want to hear it. If you want more guidance from us, we’re happy to offer it. Everything and anything is fair game. We’re here for you. We’re family." - Fr. Mark-Mary, CFR
