Catholic officials recruited, educated, ordained, hired, trained, transferred and shielded predator priests like Fr. Guillen. Church staff can’t now pretend to be powerless or blameless while he runs from justice.

We call on Arizona Catholic officials to use their vast resources – diocesan newspapers, parish websites, pulpit announcements, and hundreds of employees – to aggressively try and locate Fr. Guillen. They should also seek out others who saw, suspected or suffered Fr. Guillen’s crimes and urge them to get help and call police.

We’re convinced that in Fr. Guillen’s personnel file are the names of relatives and friends and other information that could likely help law enforcement track him down. We urge Catholic officials to turn over these files and any other information that might help police immediately

(SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, is the world’s oldest and largest support group for clergy abuse victims. We’ve been around for 23 years and have more than 10,000 members. Despite the word “priest” in our title, we have members who were molested by religious figures of all denominations, including nuns, rabbis, bishops, and Protestant ministers. Our website is SNAPnetwork.org)
