Msgr. Breslin receives Priest of Integrity Award

July 13, 2005
 
INDIANAPOLIS — Msgr. Lawrence Breslin, a priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, received the Voice of the Faithful Priest of Integrity Award July 10 at VOTF's national convocation. The award, which has been given annually since the group's founding three years ago, underscore's the group's stated goal to support priests of integrity.
 
"Msgr. Breslin has provided a model of leadership for all Catholics — ordained and unordained alike — to follow," said Jim Post, VOTF president. "He courageously named a fellow priest, who admitted the abuse, thereby placing the interest of the innocent victim ahead of a brother priest...Msgr. Breslin has demonstrated a commitment to truth and to bringing sunlight to the Catholic Church."
Kristine Ward, a Dayton resident and vice president of VOTF, noted that "We live in a time of crisis. We seek true reform. Models of exemplary leadership are needed as torchbearers of light in our church. Msgr. Breslin has been a bright light in the darkness of this tragedy."
