	VOTF Meeting Melrose Free Press [Winchester MA] June 29, 2006 http://www2.townonline.com/melrose/atGlance/view.bg?articleid=526517 On Monday, July 10, at 7:30 p.m., the Winchester Area Voice of the Faithful (VOTF), which serves Melrose residents, presents a special program entitled, "A Journey with Survivors." The presentation takes place at the regular VOTF meeting site at St. Eulalia's Parish, 50 Ridge St., Winchester. Admission is free, and all are welcome to attend. In 2005, several survivors of clergy sexual abuse traveled to Nicaragua in the hope of obtaining some measure of healing from their abuse, however temporary. Steve Sheehan, a member of St. Ignatius Parish in Chestnut Hill, and an active member of VOTF and supporter of survivors of clergy sexual abuse, accompanied the abuse survivors on this fascinating trip. Through the use of video and slides, Sheehan will provide a vivid account of the trip. The Winchester Area VOTF is a Catholic organization that has been meeting weekly on Monday evenings (holidays excluded) since May 13, 2002. Its goals are to support survivors of clergy abuse, to support priests of integrity, and to support structural change within the Catholic Church. Members of the Winchester Area VOTF come from Melrose as well as Winchester, Arlington, Lexington, Medford, Stoneham, Woburn, Burlington and other surrounding towns and cities.
