CHICAGO (IL)
WQAD
CHICAGO Nearly 300 people are expected to attend the national conference of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests in Chicago this weekend.
The group -- called 'Snap' -- is meeting just days before the U-S Conference of Catholic Bishops gathers in Chicago to address the church's policy on sexual abuse.
The bishops' three-day meeting is set to begin Thursday.
Snap founder Barbara Blaine says the victims' group first met ten years ago at a hotel in Markham south of Chicago.
