Saint Pius the Tenth

Catholic Church

As Bishop of the Diocese of Trenton, I share with our faithful and clergy of the Diocese the revulsion, disgust and anger you feel at all the recent revelations of the sexual abuse of minors by clergy in past decades. Our Diocese has not been spared its own experience of similar past abuses for which, as Bishop, I could never adequately apologize to those affected, to those who have been so profoundly harmed. Although measures at future prevention have been put in place and all reports of the sexual abuse of minors by anyone in the Church are turned over to prosecutors, that is little consolation to those who have been harmed by the Church and its clergy. I offer my deepest, heartfelt apologies to them and to all the faithful and clergy whose faith has been shaken again. I pray daily for victims and survivors and for all of you, that "nothing will separate us from the love of God that comes to us in Jesus Christ, Our Lord (Romans 8:39)."

The Diocese of Trenton is committed to the initiatives outlined in the U.S. Bishop's charter for the Protection of Children and Young People in regard to the reporting and investigations of sexual abuse allegations involving minors.

If you have been sexually abused as a minor by a member of the clergy or anyone representing the Catholic Church, or if you know of someone who was, you can report that abuse through the Diocesan Abuse Hotline: 1-888-296-2965 or via email at abuseline@dioceseoftrenton.org.

The diocese of Trenton reports any allegations of sexual abuse to the appropriate law enforcement agencies. Anyone with an allegation is also encouraged to provide that information to local law enforcement authorities.
