The Diocese of New Ulm engaged in a day of prayer Wednesday, May 25, the
final day to make a civil sexual abuse claim under the Minnesota Child
Victims Act. According to a press release from the Diocese of New Ulm,
Bishop John LeVoir called on all local Catholics to pray for healing,
reconciliation, and hope.
“Today is a day to remember in prayer all those harmed through abuse by
priests or others in Church ministry,” said Bishop LeVoir. “It is a time
to recommit to efforts to prevent the abuse of the vulnerable and to
vow never to forget the lessons of this tragic chapter in church
history.”
