KAILUA, OAHU (HawaiiNewsNow) –
Having been abused as a young girl by a Catholic priest Joelle Casteix has walked in the victim’s shoes. Now she’s walking neighborhoods to help others.

One door at a time, one flier in a mailbox at a time, Joelle Casteix canvassed the Kailua neighborhood near St. Anthony’s Church.

“I’m here telling people about Father Henry who worked right here at St. Anthony’s,” said Casteix to a neighbor.

“Just down the street here?” the man replied.

“Yes,” responded Casteix.

“Phew. That’s some heavy stuff,” said the unidentified neighbor.
