Statement by David Clohessy of St. Louis, Director of SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests ( 314 566 9790, SNAPclohessy@aol.com )

Newly released church files about child molesting Catholic clerics show that a priest who sexually abused in California now lives in New Jersey.

He is Fr. DiPeri

Now living in a retirement home for priests in New Jersey, the archdiocese claims that DiPeri is on a “permanent monitoring system”.

And why are Catholic officials only now releasing this information, and doing so only because they’re required to do so because of a settlement of clergy child sex abuse and cover up lawsuits.

We urge NJ Catholic officials to come clean about proven, admitted and credibly accused child molester clerics who live or work in the state, regardless of where they are, where they molested and which Catholic entity signs their paychecks.
