You and all the attendees, by copy of this letter to the participants listed below, are requested to review this attachment. Please advise promptly of any discrepancies or omissions, or if anything discussed has been misconstrued or misrepresented.
We are very pleased to have had the opportunity to open dialog with you, the pastor, and the diocesan administration.
