EDITOR’S NOTE: The Diocese of Rochester released the statement below in response to a June 6 press conference at which attorney Mitchell Garabedian alleged that eight men currently or formerly associated with the Rochester Diocese – including four who are deceased and one who resigned from ministry and was dispensed from the clerical state in the late 1970s – committed sexual abuse during their years of ministry. A story will follow; please check back periodically.

The Diocese of Rochester has been in correspondence for several months with the Garabedian law firm regarding the individuals named publicly at the news conference today. The Diocese has invited participation in a process of investigation and resolution. We have had little or no response.
