Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests
For immediate release: Monday, June 09, 2014
Statement by Barbara Dorris of St. Louis, Outreach Director of SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests ( 314-503-0003, SNAPdorris@gmail.com )
A North Carolina man, who was born in a now-infamous Irish orphanage – in the news now because of a just discovered mass grave of 800 infants and toddlers – is speaking up about the pain it caused him. We applaud this brave man for investigating his past and speak up about what happened to him.
Peter Ferris Cochran was adopted by an American family from the Taum center for unwed mothers in Ireland. We are grateful to Cochran for speaking publicly about his story. We hope it gives courage to others who suffered unimaginable cruelty in Catholic institutions.
