Please support our
Ministry
The first exposure to the reality of Clergy sexual abuse
arose in the late 1980's.
The second epidemic of clergy sexual abuse was reveled in
2002 by the Boston Globe who exposed the cover-up still
occurring within all the United States.
Now in the year 2007 we must remain focused on the future
and understand that we are responsible for the safety of our
children and young adults within our community.
Your donations to our Ministry will help support those
individuals who are from within the Worcester Diocese, but
receive no assistance from the Office of Healing.
Your donations will insure that in the Worcester Diocese,
those who have suffered will have a safe place to seek
resources without fear.
Your donations will also help to maintain a historical
achieves in hope that the past is never allowed to repeat
itself
Since 2002 the Worcester Voice has provided spiritual,
social, and legal resources to one hundred and fifty three (153) individuals from within the Worcester Diocese.
A request for a monthly stipend
was sent to Worcester Bishop Robert McManus to continue to
assist those who have suffered.
Bishop McManus replied the
Diocese of Worcester is not in a position to comply with the
stipend request.
We ask you send your donation directly to the Worcester
Voice to help those
who have been abused. Your Parish will be notified of your
donation if you so choose.
Currently the Office of Healing has a budget of $124.000
dollars, yet very little is spent on individual counseling
for some of the twenty one (21) individuals they have serviced since
2002.
