a message from our bishop
FRESNO, CA THE MOST REVEREND ARMANDO X. OCHOA, D.D.
On August 16 and again on December 6, 2018, I released public statements in response to the report of sexual abuse cases that involved Pennsylvania. These revelations have understandably raised nationwide awareness and cultivated very serious concerns, in addition to the impact it continues to have on victim-survivors. Today, I want to personally reiterate what I previously stated:
“I stand firm in my conviction that all clergy must live out their lives as ordained ministers with integrity. As bishop, I have fully accepted my responsibility to address any serious matter that knowingly puts at risk any of the souls entrusted to my pastoral care and will continue to do so.”
Over the past four months I have been in extensive dialogue with the Diocesan Review Board that focuses on the protection of children, youth and vulnerable adults; the College of Consultors, representing the clergy; and, the Sensitive Issues Committee which is staffed by lay employees and our diocesan attorney. Those who speak as victims’ advocates are among these advisory resources and have been central to the dialogue. This process could not be rushed. It has provided me with a variety of trustworthy perspectives and recommendations and I have great confidence in the depth of input I have received.
