Statement by Barbara Dorris of St. Louis, Outreach Director of SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests ( 314-503-0003, SNAPdorris@gmail.com )

A Michigan area priest is being investigated after allegations of inappropriate contact with students. We are glad these brave victims have spoken up.

Father Ken Coughlin is on administrative leave from Holy Family parish in Grand Blanc after two students came forward with allegations. We hope this gives courage to anyone else who may have suffered at the hands of Coughlin to stand up, speak up, and start healing.

Lansing Bishop Earl Boyea should visit each parish Coughlin worked and beg anyone who may be suffering in silence and self blame to come forward and report to secular authorities.
