If there is someone who has been abused by a person who works for the Catholic church, Bishop Carlson asks you to contact the diocese for assistance. Please call Sister Mary Carole Curran, Ph.D., victim response coordinator at (605)-988-3775 or Bishop Carlson at (605) 334-9861. If you prefer, you can call chancellor Jerome Klein or vice-chancellor Nancy Werner at the same telephone number. The diocese takes its responsibility seriously. Sexual abuse by anyone, priests included, runs counter to everything Jesus stands for and is certainly most reprehensible. The diocese has a sexual abuse and sexual harassment policy which applies to all who minister for the church.
