DUBUQUE, IA (CBS 2/FOX 28) — Tonight, it’s the church asking for forgiveness.
“I will repeat it as long as I have life’s breath…I am sorry,” said Archbishop Michael Jackels.
With the Archdiocese of Dubuque settling with 26 more victims of sexual abuse for a total of $5.2 million dollars, the total is now up to 83 settlements over the past seven years. Jackels says they don’t want to stop at a cash payment.
“If there’s anything that we can do or say to help with the process of healing and wholeness, we’re ready to do that,” Jackels said.
