Floyd's death demands examination of conscience, Archbishop Hebda says

ST. PAUL, Minn. (CNS) -- Amid the turmoil following George Floyd's death in Minneapolis, Archbishop Bernard A. Hebda said the Catholic Church must proclaim the Gospel message of Jesus' love for all people, as well as its teaching on the dignity of human life.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (CNS) -- The Knights of Columbus called on the nation's Catholics to participate in a novena beginning June 7 to pray for national unity and an end to racism amid the unrest following the death of George Floyd at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer.

WASHINGTON (CNS) -- The chairman of the U.S. bishops' Committee on Migration has urged the U.S. Senate to take action and pass a bill to protect "Dreamers" and as well beneficiaries of the Temporary Protected Status and Deferred Enforced Departure programs.

MADISON, Wis. (CNS) -- Health officials in the city of Madison and in Dane County June 5 lifted a 50-person cap instituted for houses of worship, a limitation that Madison Bishop Donald J. Hying earlier called unjust and said was stifling the church's "pastoral mission."

This past Sunday, a number of our parishes in the archdiocese opened again for the first time since March. Some of the most successful were places where the Masses were celebrated outdoors, such as at Our Lady Comforter of the Afflicted in Waltham, St. Patrick's in Lawrence, and Immaculate Conception in Marlborough.

WEYMOUTH -- Sacred Heart School in Weymouth Landing and St. Francis Xavier School in South Weymouth have announced a new partnership between their schools.
