Victim Assistance Support
Harm happened in isolation, Healing can happen together.

For those who have suffered abuse by clergy residing in the Catholic Diocese of Richmond, we invite you to join virtually on August 24 at 7pm.  Spouses and affected community members are also welcome.  These gatherings, led by an independent facilitator, will offer a safe environment for participants to connect, share experiences, support, and heal.  For information to or attend, call the Victim Assistance Coordinator at (877) 887-9603 or email dana@atreeplanted.org
