Lexington compliant with Charter

Lexington. The Diocese of Lexington has been found to be in compliance with the Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People for the 2015-2016 fiscal period, following an audit by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops office’s designated firm. The audit was conducted September 20-22 at the chancery in Lexington and at several parish locations. In a September 30 letter to Bishop John Stowe, O.F.M. Conv., StoneBridge Business Partners, a Rochester, NY, group, wrote, “Based on the results of our recently performed on-site audit of the Diocese of Lexington, the Diocese has been found compliant with all audited Articles within the Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People for the 2015/2016 audit period. “The conclusions reached as to the compliance of your Diocese are based upon inquiry, observation and the review of specifically requested documentation furnished to StoneTurn to Charter, Page 8

On Wednesday, Bishop Stowe celebrated Mass in the stables of Ashford Stud Horse Farm in Versailles. During his homily, he took advantage of the fact that several horses were in attendance—including American Pharoah, an American Thoroughbred and Triple Crown winner—to remind those gathered that St. Francis of Assisi also preached to the birds. In jest, Bishop Stowe remarked, “I am not saying that I am a saint, but…if you all don’t listen, I will preach the Word to the horses.” The stable turned church erupted with smiles and the

Bishop Manz then celebrated Mass outside a barn at the Thoroughbred Center. Here, Bishop Manz reminded those present that “they always have a refuge in the Lord.” During the Mass, he prayed on behalf of those gathered and of those left behind in their respective countries, some of whom the workers here have not seen in a long time. He also offered a prayer of healing to a man who had recently had surgery. Following the Mass, the group and attendees gathered exchanging experiences and giving guidance. Later, there was lunch at the Catholic Center with several priests and some of the staff members of the diocese, followed by a visit to the Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital, where they visited more migrants, listening to them and giving them blessed rosaries. The day ended with a visit to the Barton Brothers Farm in Scott County. Bishops Turn to USCCB, Page 8

Los presentes sonrieron con regocijo y la Misa continuo muy hermosamente, ya que algunos de los caballos presentes relinchaban en ocasión como respondiendo a la palabra del Señor. Después de la Misa hubo un tiempo para convivir con comida y bebidas. Durante este tiempo se comunicaron los migrantes en su mayoría de México y en su minoría de Irlanda, con el grupo de USCCB y con la Diócesis.
