Sister Agnes Burrows said study groups have been formed in different deaneries, as a result of a recommendation of the pastoral plan of the Diocese of Antigonish.
Burrows said in Glace Bay, about 23 people are meeting at Holy Cross Church Mondays at 7 p.m.
Other groups are being held in Antigonish, Sydney and North Sydney.
“We’re going to have six sessions. We finished three and will have three more to go.”
She said the sessions include a facilitated study of the book: Healing the Church: Diagnosing and Treating the Clergy Sexual Abuse Crisis.
