Archbishop Michael Byrnes on Monday held the first of his “Updating the Faithful” monthly briefings, starting with updates on sexual abuse prevention and response training at Catholic schools and parishes.
Byrnes launched his series, which will be held every first week of the month, to update the faithful about the archdiocese’s issues, initiatives and efforts, he said.
To date, 14 archdiocesan schools and four parishes have received training from the Task Force for the Protection of Minors, said chairwoman Sarah Thomas-Nededog, a longtime social work professional. The task force was formed last year by temporary Archbishop Savio Hon Tai Fai.
