SAVANNAH, Ga. – “There’s no way I would be standing here if it wasn’t for my family and the support of all my friends in Savannah and in the community,” Chris Templeton, who was sexually abused by a priest back in 1987, said. “There’s no way I could’ve done it alone.”
A service of consolation was held at the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist on Lafayette Square Wednesday night.
Bishop Gregory Hartmayer said the gathering was for the suffering at the innocent at the hands of priests.
One man in particular anxiously waited for that Lenten service.
Chris Templeton was just 13 years old when he was raped by former Priest Wayland Brown.
Templeton has shared his difficult story with News 3 saying he was raped more than 50 times by Brown at St. James.
