MO- More damning evidence of KC Catholic corruption
Our hearts ache for the Teeman family and for the dozens of families who are suffering because Kansas City bishops – and Finn – refused to take any real steps to protect kids from Missouri’s worst predator priest.
And we applaud the Teemans for seeking justice and helping to expose even more callousness and recklessness by dozens of Catholic employees.
This evidence proves what many have long said: that a host of KC Catholic officials – teachers, priests, bishops and others - have known that Msgr. O'Brien is a serial pedophile for decades but done little to stop him from assaulting kid after kid after kid after kid.
It's astonishing that this serial predator is still on the church payroll with no supervision. Finn should have put him in a treatment center ages ago.

Winter Appeal 2023
To our friends,
2023 has been a long year with many ups and downs for us all. As we close out the year, we at SNAP hope that you are feeling like you are on your way to being healthy, fulfilled, and happy. This past year has brought both successes and challenges. Thanks to the support you have shown in the past, we’ve been able to celebrate the good days and weather the stormy ones. Now, we are once again asking for your support as we work to support survivors new and old as we ‘Move SNAP Forward.’
At SNAP we are proud to have hosted a very well-attended conference in August 2023. This event allowed us to gather friends, survivors, advocates, and allies for a weekend of camaraderie and connection. We were so happy to be able to welcome many first-time attendees to gather in person and are already looking forward to the next conference.
To strengthen our movement for justice, healing, and prevention, SNAP will be expanding our peer support and providing more volunteer opportunities in the coming year. Through this great work, we are ensuring survivor voices are represented as we work for significant change that will benefit children and survivors.
Right now, survivors worldwide are getting the help they need from SNAP, and more and more reach out to us daily, but we need your help to keep those programs going and get our volunteers the training they need to thrive.
Your tax-deductible gift to SNAP can help offset the cost of our important mission. If you are not in a position to contribute, you can still support us by sharing this letter with those who can. As we continue to fight for survivors across the globe, your donation or sharing the great work SNAP does will help us continue our work to protect the vulnerable, heal the wounded, and prevent abuse.
Your donation ensures SNAP will be there for those who need us more than ever!
Warmly,
Michael W. McDonnell, C.P.S.
Interim Executive Director

…We raised our 4 children in the church. I had relatives who were in religious orders , who many years ago, told us things we could not believe.
In 2001 , when the… …“hit the fan” in San Diego, where we kept our boat(to get out of the AZ. heat)we knew “all they had told us was TRUE and beyond. We left !
. I am going to be 84 in Aug. and have been around a long time, seen and heard more than I care to remember. Nothing in this evil place will ever change! They like it the way it is. They have pulled the wool over everyone’s eyes for way too long. We don’t BUY THEIR” BS" ANYMORE. THEY WILL NOT CHANGE BUT WE MUST GET THEM" SHUT DOWN" FOREVER!
In these 72 yrs. I have heard more sickening stories of priests taking advantage of peoples hospitality( when they were given their homes to use) when they were away on vacation. The people who cleaned the homes, when the priests left, told the owners there were used condems all over the place…beds in such disaray you couldn’t make them, bathrooms filthy,, garbage etc. the home completly destroyed with evil stuff. Needless to say the owners contacted the group of Catholic priests and said never again.
They( the catholics owners ) didn’t know that this is the sort of stuff the Vatican has going on right now and has been going on for millenium(s) right under the noses of all there and don’t care, or people who venture to Rome and don’t have the foggiest. We’ve been there and ooed and ahed .. What a waste!
Rome knows it and has published these (sex parties) in their papers. In fact just before Bennedict" took a powder" and resigned..that’s when It all hit the “papers” just before.
. They all know but if they don’t tell the authorities are all participating in this coverup . Sickening to us but think of what Jesus Christ must feel.??
