The Elk County Catholic School System issued a statement following the release of a grand jury’s report on a two-year sexual abuse investigation.
ECCSS President Sam MacDonald released a statement Tuesday afternoon saying that schools are working to create a safe environment for all of its students.
“Full transparency is the only path to healing for the victims,” MacDonald said.
According to the statement, the Diocese of Erie was the first diocese involved in the grand jury investigation to release a list of all “credibly accused priests, religious and lay employees.”
MacDonald states the some of the stories mentioned in the report apply directly to people assigned to churches and schools in Elk County.
