This is officially my registered diocese. I’m glad Archbishop Lori is at the helm.


I also noted this buried rather far down in the article:
The archdiocese in December released an inaugural annual report by the board, a body established in 1993, detailing the board’s oversight of child protection efforts. The report, which covered July 1, 2016, through June 30, 2017, found no clergy or religious personnel serving in the archdiocese were accused of child sexual abuse during that time. Nine clergy, who had died or were already permanently removed from ministry because of prior allegations, were accused of child sex abuse based on events that occurred “many years earlier,” according to the report. Two volunteers and one other employee were also accused of child sex abuse. Those three people were terminated, and two cases resulted in criminal convictions, according to the report.
