“You’re not a victim for sharing your story. You are a survivor setting the world on fire with your truth. And you never know who needs your light, your warmth and raging courage.”
— Alex Elle

The Catholic Church and the Healing of Victim/Survivors
The Catholic Church is deeply committed to supporting victim/survivors of sexual misconduct and abuse.
In alignment with the teachings and practices of the Catholic Church, Westminster Abbey and the Seminary of Christ the King offer:
- confidential support to victim/survivors,
- resources outlining the Church’s response to sexual misconduct and abuse,
- prayers for comfort and restoration.
We acknowledge the profound trauma caused by these experiences and are dedicated to offering compassionate care, justice, and healing.
