Corrections
The June 5 edition of The Miscellany incorrectly identified a photo of a woman receiving a blessing in the article, “A new priest to shepherd many who are united by one”, on page 9. She was unidentified and was not Nora Alvarez, from St. John of the Cross, as stated.
Also, the “Fortnight for Freedom renews the call to protect religious rights” article on page 5 contained an error. The opening Mass will be held at 10 a.m. at St. Mary Church in Greenville and not at 8 a.m.
