Bishop Jones has also encouraged victims of abuse to report what happened to them, if they had not already done so.
"If you have suffered abuse from a priest or any church personnel and have not come forward with your story, I urge you to do so now," he said.
He again offered his apologies to any person of the diocese who had been sexually abused by a priest.
"We know that apologies must sound hollow for people who are suffering but this apology is made with the utmost sincerity," Bishop Jones said.
