Lani Halte: Thank you very much for your words. I demand justice, a month ago I sent him a letter to the Holy Father at the Vatican, and the notice has not yet been reached. Am my background is not going to answer. This priest abuser lives in a private house in Buenos Aires and still celebrates Mass in his neighborhood, where he lives, is not aware that the cure. A horror!

Thank you, Gloria. It’s good to know that you agree.
I was about to leave this site for the day, when I noticed the link to abuse by women in the church, e.g. nuns and other female catholic laity. I realized in my earlier comment that I only mention and refer to pedophile priests all of whom are males, but, I want to say, whenever speaking on this site I do mean and hereby include the church female preditors and abetors, as well.

Love your comment Lani!

Again, thank you so very much for not giving up. Lord knows, I often feel and become overwhelmed by the sheer width and breadth of the battle. The scope of the nasty cruelty and inhumanity of pedophile priests, does not ever seem to dimminish! In fact, it does not dimminish except for a very few fleeting moments at a time; moments such as those experienced today while watching and listening to, for the first time, responsible and caring adults question members of the “Holy See” about these crimes. I am so very tired of the catholic church. And, perhaps even worse, in this past year, I have come to realize that it is as much the members of the church who continually refuse to acknowledge that ANY priests, let alone, one or more of their parrish priests are actually committing these egregious crimes; or in fact, they admit to others that there are many pedophile priests but somehow in their own minds continue to think that because they are priests that they don’t deserve to stopped or punished. Parishoners acting thusly, are those who have made me stop going to church. It is now they, as much as the actual criminal priests and church hierarchy, who have made me think that the battle likely cannot be won from within. I believe that if the vast majority of parishoners would “stand up and be counted” and tell the catholic church to put an end to this travesty, that the vatican and pope would finally pay attention, and do so.

I am listening and have listened, and all I can comment is; Are you kidding? Ruminating instead of fully digesting what speedily needs to occur. Immediate Removal.

In the city of La Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina is a priest abuser, is 80 years old, lives in a private house in the neighborhood of Los Hornos and continues to celebrate Mass in the chapel of San Juan de Dios Hospital in the city of La Plata. 6 months ago I woke up, and demand justice. Do not give me divine justice, I want justice now! Now! still alive today and perhaps continues to damage the sexual integrity of children who are close to him. I wrote a letter to the Holy Father and still got no answer. One month ago to send her. I hope he did call me as a woman of the city of Cordoba who was abused by police. We demand justice, and we are 19 people who could talk about abuses by Hector Ricardo Gimenez

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
