St. Patrick's Cathedral prays for victims of abuse
By Rebecca Petit
EL PASO, Texas - Saint Patrick’s Cathedral opened up its doors to residents who are dealing with abuse.
They invited survivors of physical, emotional and sexual abuse, as well as their families.
Bishop Mark Seitz and parishioners prayed for victims of abuse whether it happened within the Church, in the family or society.
The church says people who have been hurt by abuse aren’t recognized enough and this is the first step to raise more awareness.
About 30 people attended the mass today. The Catholic Diocese of El Paso said it welcomes victims of abuse to come in and speak with either a priest or counselor.
