They worked in the Diocese. Their names should be on the New Ulm list and answers about their actions in the Diocese should be disclosed.It should also be noted that JAMES VINCENT FITZGERALD was also on the Crookston and the Duluth list.
Considering the importance of these lists and the absence of all names there are a lot of questions to be answered.
Abuse of children and the continued silence by the offenders needs to be prevented. If you suffered, saw, or suspected such events, it is important to know that there is help out there.
