Bishop Larry Silva of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Honolulu is assuring parishioners that their leaders have done and are doing everything possible to assure clergy sexual abuse never happens again.

In a letter dated Aug. 24, Silva responded to allegations by former students of Damien Memorial School and St. Anthony Church in Kailua that they were sexually abused by clergy in the 1960s, ’70s, and ’80s. It can be read in full on the diocese’s “e-NewsLetter” at www.catholichawaii.org
