Catholic Group Gets Infusion of Donations TheBostonChannel July 21, 2009 http://www.thebostonchannel.com/news/20128282/detail.html BOSTON — Voice of the Faithful, the lay Catholic group founded during the church's clergy sex abuse scandal, has raised enough money to keep operating. The group sent a letter to its members last week, saying its financial situation was so dire that it might be forced to close its Needham headquarters unless it raised $60,000. On Tuesday, the group said its plea raised more than $63,000. The money will be used to pay operating costs for July and August. The group hopes to raise additional money so it can continue to operate long-term. Voice of the Faithful was founded in the Boston area in 2002 during the clergy sex abuse crisis. Its mission is to give lay people a greater role in the Catholic Church. |
