A new DVD, commissioned by the Maitland-Newcastle Catholic Diocese, aims to raise the awareness of the impact of child sexual abuse at the hands of church workers.
Around a hundred people were at the Newcastle launch of the DVD titled, ‘Breaking the Silence’.
Pat Feenan’s son Daniel was sexually assaulted by a Catholic priest from the age of 12.
She says he was sometimes assaulted between church services.
“He left one mass, he took my son to another mass to be an extra altar boy , and he abused him in the car,” she said.
“That’s disgraceful.”
