The clergy sexual abuse crisis is being discussed today by victims-rights groups and lawyers who have represented them.

A mile-long march is planned from the Holy Cross cathedral, which is the home parish of the Boston Archdiocese, to the New England School of Law downtown, where a panel discussion will be held.

The march is designed to remind people that the "crisis isn't over." It is being organized by the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, or SNAP.

It was five years ago this week that published reports exposed the scope of the clergy sex abuse crisis in the Boston Archdiocese.

The nation's fourth-largest Roman Catholic archdiocese was shaken when court documents showed church leaders protected pedophile priests by transferring them from parish to parish.

Another group, Voice of the Faithful, is holding events this weekend to recognize the five-year mark.
