CA – SNAP’s Letter to California victims

CALIFORNIA
Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests

Posted by David Clohessy on February 01, 2013

Dear California SNAP member;

As you’ve likely heard, thousands of pages of long-secret church records about child molesting clerics and their corrupt colleagues are finally surfacing in Los Angeles.

Make no mistake about it – this is a huge victory for innocent kids and wounded adults. And you deserve the credit!

Maybe you aren’t one of the 500 LA survivors who sought justice in court. Maybe you weren’t abused by an LA area priest, nun, seminarian, bishop, brother or other church employee. Maybe you aren’t a victim (but a loved one or a caring parishioner). None of this matters.

What matters is that progress is being made. This accomplishment is due to you and to every single person in California who joined SNAP or spoke up or called a radio program or wrote a letter to the editor or stopped donating to a diocese or in any way lent a hand – large or small – to our movement.

We thank you and we congratulate you.
