ALTOONA — The faithful of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Altoona-Johnstown gathered Tuesday night to continue the process of healing.
This is the second of three prayer services the Diocese is holding to pray for victims of child sexual abuse at the hands of religious leaders.
Victims, as well as their families, attended the service at the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament in Altoona.
“There are no words to express the sorrow and the hurt for those who have been harmed in our church,” says Tony DeGol, Diocese spokesman.
While there are few words that may help in the healing process, Bishop Mark Bartchak is trying to assure the faithful.
