More than 200 Catholics flocked to a Manchester church Sunday afternoon to pray for the victims of the priest sexual abuse scandal, the first of three such Masses planned in the Hartford archdiocese.
Archbishop Leonard Blair celebrated the Mass at the St. Bartholomew Church building of St. Teresa of Calcutta Parish in Manchester to make spiritual amends to victims of sexual abuse by priests, providing solace for those who attended.
“It was a beautiful reparation mass, and it brought peace to a lot of people’s hearts,” said Dorothy Brindisi. “The church is trying to do the right thing and bring people together and hope for the future.”
