The Phil Saviano Archive Phil Saviano is a significant figure in the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests. He founded the organization's New England chapter, which held its first meeting under his leadership on May 10, 1997, and he has also served as SNAP's web master. Saviano's public involvement in the abuse crisis dates to an interview he gave to the Boston Globe for a January 8, 1993 article about the Rev. David A. Holley. In subsequent years, Saviano researched Holley's career in Massachusetts, New Mexico, Texas, and Colorado, becoming in the process an expert on the Holley file and the Catholic church's transfer practices generally. See articles 1 2. Saviano is also an accomplished web designer and an expert in Oaxacan folk art. He maintains an online gallery called Viva Oaxaca Folk Art and travels regularly to Mexico and to Hungary, where he has family ties. During his activism and his research on the crisis, Saviano has built an important collection of documents and media coverage. He has kindly permitted us to scan portions of his remarkable archive for posting here. Saviano's archive has especially strong holdings on Rev. David A. Holley, the Diocese of Worcester, the history of SNAP New England, and national coverage of the crisis. This page presents an initial sample of a very useful resource. Some articles have been converted into web pages; others are available as PDFs. We are grateful for Mr. Saviano's assistance with this project; the posting of the archive is solely the responsibility of BishopAccountability.org.
