ST. LOUIS • Pat and Dan Harkins, who say their
21-year-old son killed himself in 2009 because of sexual abuse by a St.
Louis priest years before, told reporters Thursday they hope his story
inspires others to find help before it’s too late.
As for the Catholic church, the Harkins believe there’s little left to say. “I still believe in God,” Pat Harkins said. “I don’t believe in the Catholic church. How could I?”
