National Child Abuse Prevention Month
Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted encourages
anyone who has been a victim of child sexual abuse by any employee
of the Roman Catholic Church to please come forward by contacting
the Director, Child and Youth Protection, Paul Pfaffenberger at 602-354-2396
or by email.
Bishop Olmsted would like to meet with victims and their families
to offer a sincere apology and his prayers for healing.
"Healing of mind, heart and soul may take a very long time to happen. Nonetheless we want you who are survivors of abuse to feel embraced by the prayers and compassion of our entire Catholic community. And we wish to journey with you in the presence of Christ our Redeemer."
