What:

Holding signs and photos of themselves at the age they were abused, victims of child sexual abuse and their supporters will:

-- discuss a clergy sex abuse and cover up lawsuit filed last week involving the Fresno diocese,

-- hand out leaflets to Catholics leaving mass and to community members about the alleged predator priest, and

-- urge anyone who may have seen, suspected or suffered his crimes to call police immediately.

The lawsuit says that:

- at least 14 witnesses, including students at San Joaquin Memorial High School, have come forward to testify to the priest's misconduct, and

- church staff in three different dioceses knew of (and kept silent about) the priest's sexual misconduct as far back as the 1960s.

Where:

Outside of St. John's Cathedral, 2814 Mariposa St. (at R Street), Fresno, 93721
