JOLIET (IL)
Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests

Two more accused clerics missing from his list, group says

They’re also not in recent “Anderson Report” on abuse in Illinois

SNAP urges the inclusion of those who prey on ‘vulnerable adults’

It begs those who “saw, suspected or suffered abuse” to speak up

WHAT

–the official Joliet diocese list of ‘’credibly accused’ clerics, nor in
–the recently-issued “Anderson Report” on clergy abuse in Illinois.

They will also prod northern Illinois Catholic officials to
–add these two and other names to their list of “credibly accused” priests,
–expand their lists to include clerics who hurt ‘vulnerable adults,’ and
–blast them for their secrecy about abuse and cover ups.

They’ll also urge those who “saw suspected or suffered” abuse to “call police and get help.”

WHERE
On the sidewalk outside the Joliet Catholic diocese HQ/chancery office, 16555 Weber Rd, (corner of Division St.) in Crest Hill, IL
