Bishop Fernand J.Cheri, OFM
Calls on the Church to "Roll On"
"A news reporter asked me, 'What are you feeling at this moment?'  I said, 'The church showed out; let the church roll on.'

It was eye opening that in the 21st century, the majority of Catholics in attendance had never heard a homily on racism, when it is such a critical issue in our Church and World."
