Why
Until 1981, the Archdiocese of Boston administered the Italian Home for Children in Jamaica Plain, MA. A minor child was sexually abused by an employee, George P. Forte, Jr., during that time, but the Archdiocese of Boston refuses to take responsibility for the healing and recovery of that minor child, now an adult. The Archdiocese of Boston has told that man to take a hike. Demonstrators will call on the Archdiocese of Boston and the Italian Home for Children to follow the lead of Pope Francis and take responsibility for the sexual abuse of at least one minor child who has courageously reported sexual abuse by George P. Forte, Jr.
