The second of three prayer services of healing for victims of child sex abuse took place at the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament in Altoona Tuesday night.

About a dozen protesters greeted church-goers as they entered for that service. They carried posters showing pictures of children who had been sexually abused. One protester - a victim when he was a child of priest sexual abuse - handed out his "call to action".

As Robert Mizic says, "I'm here because I want justice for victims of childhood sexual abuse - not only by priests - by other adults too. We're looking for reform and we're looking to tell the Catholic church we're tired of empty apologies."

Mizic says he'll continue to push for transparency and justice from the church and elected officials.
