Victims of priest sex abuse gathered to share their personal stories and begin a local support group.

While cameras were not allowed in the meeting, the regional director of the “Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests” or “SNAP” told us there were 10 victims who came to the Cottage Restaurant in Ebensburg Tuesday night.

The next step, “SNAP” organizers tell us is to begin monthly meetings in the area.

As Judy Jones “SNAP” says, “They realize they’re not alone. They don’t have to suffer anymore by themselves and it’s a good way to be able to share your bad thoughts, your good thoughts.”
