Church Leadership Response to the
Possible Removal of Father Pfleger
We, as the church leadership of the Faith Community of Saint Sabina, have
served in our respective ministries under the leadership of Father Michael L.
Pfleger to make not only this parish, but the community in which we are
located come to life. We realize that Father Pfleger will not serve as Pastor
of Saint Sabina forever. However, considering the current state of the
economy, we believe that removing him at this time would be devastating
to both our parish and the Auburn Gresham community. We also know that
it is Father Pfleger's desire to remain as pastor of Saint Sabina. Further, we
feel that as leadership we should be granted the respect of being involved
in any process of succession planning for the future of our parish.
