	Opening Statement by Raymond Lahey Bishop of the Diocese of Antigonish Roman Catholic Diocese of Antigonish August 7, 2009 http://jurist.law.pitt.edu/paperchase/2009/08/nova-scotia-catholic-diocese-reaches.php Good Morning Ladies and Gentlemen. Thank you for your presence here today. I am Bishop Raymond Lahey of the Diocese of Antigonish. Before I say anything else here today, as Bishop of Antigonish, I want to formally apologize to every victim and to their families for the sexual abuse that was inflicted upon those who were entitled instead to the trust and protection of priests of the Church. I want them to know how terribly sorry we are; how wrong this abuse was, and how we are now attempting to right those wrongs. Money can never compensate fully, but we are trying throughout this process to be fair, responsible, respectful, and most of all, compassionate. Above all, we want to do the right thing.
