FROM OUR DIOCESE

Bishop Libasci recently launched a new section on the diocesan website to provide further transparency to the Diocese of Manchester’s ongoing commitment to protecting minors.

The new site, www.catholicnh.org/restoringtrust, contains resources for victim-survivors, families, and those who wish to report abuse, and includes the names of priests who have been accused of sexual abuse of a minor since 1950.
