TULSA, Oklahoma – Bishop Kelley alumni have been getting a letter from the school, and the Roman Catholic Diocese of Tulsa, encouraging them to come forward if they were ever abused or know someone who was abused.
The letter is specifically concerned about abuse by a worker for the school or someone within the Catholic Church.
“What prompted us to do this was the change in policy and making sure that everyone actually knows that we have a victim-centered approach,” said Diocese of Tulsa Chancellor, Harrison Garlick.
Garlick said, in June, the newly appointed Bishop of Tulsa, David Konderla, started new policies.
“This type of approach is probably more proactive than we see in other places,” Garlick said.
The new policies are in line with national Catholic Church guidelines.
