Catholic clergy sexually abused nearly 1,000 Massachusetts children over decades, report finds
However, three cases were referred to different district attorney’s offices and one of those resulted in criminal charges
We deeply understand that behind every number is a child whose safety was violated, a family that was changed, and a survivor who has carried the trauma of that abuse for years, and in many cases, decades,

I continue in my commitment with the help of many collaborators to do everything we can to ensure such abuse does not happen again,
