New Zealand Survivors of sexual abuse tied ribbons of remembrance from around the world to the gates of St Joseph's Cathedral in Dunedin during a gathering this morning.
About 30 survivors, their supporters and representatives from the Catholic Diocese of Dunedin - including Dunedin Bishop Michael Dooley - were on hand for the event. The stood silently for one minute to remember victims of clerical abuse who had taken their own lives, then listened as Bishop Dooley called again for the Catholic Church to be included in the Government's upcoming Royal Commission on historic abuse.
