The leader of Maine’s Roman Catholics held a day of prayer and penance Wednesday for harm done to the victims of clergy sexual abuse.
Diocese of Portland Bishop Richard Malone celebrated the annual Mass of prayer and penance, first held in 2002, at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception.
Malone said he hopes through prayer and reflection that Catholics can become even more committed to healing the wounds of the past and preventing sexual abuse in the future.
