Archbishop Jerome Listecki is currently recovering in a local hospital following a procedure to widen one of his arteries. Victim/survivors of clergy sexual abuse in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee and SNAP leaders wish the Archbishop a quick and speedy recovery. Archbishop Listecki was appointed Milwaukee’s eleventh archbishop in November of 2009, and since that time we have had strong disagreements with him over his handling of the clergy sexual abuse crisis in the Milwaukee archdiocese. Despite our differences we sincerely hope that he is able to return home from the hospital soon and is restored to health as quickly as possible. Our thoughts are with him, his family, and the Catholics of the archdiocese at this time.

SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, is the world’s oldest and largest support group for clergy abuse victims. We’ve been around for 23 years and have more than 10,000 members. Despite the word “priest” in our title, we have members who were molested by religious figures of all denominations, including nuns, rabbis, bishops, and Protestant ministers.
