Bishops decide to write about teen stewardship, freeze assessment

Published: 2006-06-19

LOS ANGELES (CNS) -- The U.S. Catholic bishops, meeting in Los Angeles, agreed June 15 that their Ad Hoc Committee on Stewardship should draft two brochures -- one for young Hispanic Catholics and one for other young Catholics -- on teenagers and stewardship in the church. They also approved a proposal to keep the same diocesan assessment in 2007 as in 2006 to help fund the operations of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, their national organization. In a special election to fill a vacancy on the board of Catholic Relief Services, Auxiliary Bishop Denis J. Madden of Baltimore, was declared the winner.
