Clergy sex group holds vigil

PHILADELPHIA (PA)
Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests

Posted by David Clohessy on May 03, 2012

WHAT:
Holding signs and childhood photos, clergy sex abuse victims and their supporters will hold a small vigil outside the Philly Archdiocese headquarters. They will urge Catholic officials to:

–disclose more, not less, about predatory priests tomorrow, and
–explain why they kept kids needlessly at risk by keeping silent about every one of the 27 accused priests for more than a year.

They will also urge current and former Catholic church employees and members to step forward now and disclose any knowledge of crimes to Philadelphia law enforcement, regardless of what archdiocesan officials do or don’t do tomorrow.

WHEN:
Tonight, Thursday, May 3 at 9 p.m.

WHERE:
Outside the Philadelphia archdiocesan headquarters, 222 N 17th St. (Between Race St. and Vine St.)
