Help us reach out
to anyone abused by 

Fr. Phillip Jacobs.

Please do your Christian and your civic duty!


Father Phillip Jacobs spent years in this diocese, interacting with thousands of families and kids. He now faces criminal charges of raping and sexually abusing minors in Canada, where he was arrested a couple of weeks ago.

We are a confidential, independent, self-help group of women and men who have been victimized by clergy but are working to recovery from this trauma. We want to help others Jacobs may have hurt. Will you help us do this?

Most abuse victims suffer in secrecy, shame and silence. We are here let them know there is help and healing, and that they are not alone.

You can help by:

- Discussing Father Jacobs and his behavior with your friends, neighbors and fellow parishioners;

- Tracking down former parishioners and ex-employees of this parish;

- Urging everyone to contact the police or prosecutors if they know something about Jacob’s crimes;

- Call upon your pastors to use church bulletins and other means to encourage victims to come forward;

- Insisting that the bishop do likewise in the diocesan newspaper and on the diocesan web site;

- Asking anyone who was wounded to contact SNAP, so they can receive support from others and begin to heal.
