(KMSP) – When Twin cities Catholics go to church this weekend they will get more than just their weekly mass, they will also get a reminder of an upcoming deadline in the ongoing church abuse scandal.
Sources tell Fox 9 the new Archbishop Bernard Hebda has ordered parish priests to help parishioners remember the May 25 deadline for the Minnesota Child Victim’s Act, which lifts the statute of limitations for people who say they were sexually abused, to prepare them in case their parish is sued.
“We anticipate that some parishes will have lawsuits commenced against them and we have been working to make sure communications are clear and accurate and anticipate that parish leaders will address the possible legal action this weekend,” the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis said in a statement.
