Additional
Help for Victims:
Besides
contacting the Promoter of Justice for
the Diocese of Tyler, there are also other
groups to provide assistance to those
abused by priests, deacons, or religious.
For
those seeking spiritual healing the Maria
Goretti Network, a new lay group of
survivors reaching out to other survivors,
is a possible resource. Another
such group is Survivors
Network for those Abused by Priests,
a support group headed by recovering survivors
of abuse by clergy. There are also
some more specialized groups, such as:
The
Regain Network for victims of abuse
of any kind by the Legion of Christ and
the Regnum Christi. Mothers
against Sexual Abuse is another resource.
