Page Four Please mark your calendars for the fifth in a series of six Hot Topics discussions. We hope you can join us for what we feel will be very attention-grabbing discussion! When: Tuesday, February 10 @ 7:00 PM Topic: Domestic Violence Dirty Little Secret! Presented by: Fr. Chuck Dahm, O.P. Hosting Parish: St. Cyprian Church (2601 Clinton, River Grove, IL 708-453-4800) About the Topic: Let s stop ignoring domestic violence. Many abused victims are in denial or minimize the abuse. This is a program to help battered spouses and their children step out of the shadows and learn more about how to get the assistance they need. For all those: Who are too afraid to speak; Who do not have voices of their own; and Who are our neighbors, and sisters. One in four men and women are abused physically, emotionally and mentally in our own parishes! We can learn to recognize the signs, to inform ourselves and gather resources. About the Speaker Charles W. Dahm, O.P. is a Dominican priest and the Archdiocesan Director of Domestic Violence Outreach, the Co-coordinator of Peace and Justice for Dominicans in North America and associate pastor of St. Pius V parish in Chicago. Fr. Chuck is a graduate of Fenwick High School and attended the University of Notre Dame. He holds a M.A. in theology from Aquinas Institute in St. Louis and a PhD in political science from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. He was co-founder of the 8th Day Center for Justice, a Catholic peace and justice center in Chicago, where he served for twelve years. During this period, Fr Chuck helped found and support several organizations, such as Illinois Citizens for Better Care, a nursing home advocacy organization, and the Chicago Religious Task Force on Central America, an organization working for an end to war and defense of human rights. He is the author of two books: Power and Authority in the Catholic Church, Cardinal Cody in Chicago, and Parish Ministry in a Hispanic Community. A small reception will follow discussion!

I will give them all the graces necessary. 2. I will establish peace in their families. 3. I will console them in all their troubles. 4. My Sacred Heart will provide a refuge. 5. Abundant blessings for all undertakings. 6. Sinners shall find an ocean of mercy. 7. Tepid souls shall become fervent. 8. Fervent souls shall rise to perfection. 9. Blessings for homes where an image of My Heart is exposed and honored. 10. Priests will have power to touch hearts. 11. The names of those keeping this devotion shall be written in My Heart, forever. 12. The all-powerful love of My Heart will grant to those receiving Communion on the First Friday of nine consecutive months the grace of final repentance; they shall not die under my displeasure, nor without receiving their Sacraments; My Heart shall be their assured refuge at that last hour.
