“We extend our invitation to attend these healing services to all who have been affected by physical, emotional, or sexual abuse in the Diocese, especially our brothers and sisters who have survived abuse by members of the Church.

Families and friends of survivors, Catholics and community members who are struggling with forgiveness or who have been affected by the sin of abuse, and all people wishing to unite and seek healing; to them we extend the invitation to attend these services as well,” said a representative from Gallup’s Diocese in a press release.

The healing services consist of prayer, scripture reading, and a reflection from Bishop Wall. The Bishop has and will continue to be available after the services to privately meet with survivors.
