The Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis and sexual abuse victims took a major step toward healing Monday with the announcement of a historic lawsuit settlement and agreement on future child protection.
At an emotional news conference Monday, church officials and sexual abuse survivors along with their lawyers shared a public platform to make this significant announcement.
This announcement is a positive one for all involved, but especially so for the sexual abuse survivors of the church in Minnesota.
“We’ve come forward together today because we’ve forged a new way,” said plaintiff’s attorney Jeff Anderson.
Church officials apologized Monday saying they were sorry the abuse happen and that it should not have happen.
