Listening and responding to the aspirations of the group, Archbishop Timothy M. Dolan was encouraging, but candid when asked about resources to fund lectures, ministerial development programs and additional education.
"I serve you best if I am blunt with you," said a somber Archbishop Dolan. "Your questions seemed predicated by the assumption that the archdiocese has a lot of money. I have to tell you that the Archdiocese of Milwaukee is decimated. We have no money; we have a small staff and we aren't all in the best of shape either. I would be fibbing if I told you I'd give you funds, but I promised you I would be honest."
Decimated might understate the damage.
Dad29 has said the upcoming Capital Campaign is actually a recapitalization. Our Archbishop makes this explicit.
The archbishop assured the participants that once funds from the Faith in Our Future capital campaign begins to replenish the diocese, money would be set aside for various black ministries.
How about like this: 1. "more evangelization in black communities".
