On April 22, 2025, fifteen Survivors presented their impact statements at a hearing before the Bankruptcy Court.  In addition, the written statements submitted by nine Survivors were read to the Court.  Bishop Douglas J. Lucia and other Diocese representatives were also present to hear the impact statements. The Committee is grateful to the brave Survivors who shared the truth about their abuse and its effect on their lives. The Committee is also hopeful that the impact statements will increase understanding regarding the tremendous pain and challenges Survivors endured and continue to endure as a result of their difficult experiences.
