About This Web Site ~ Getting Organized

Approximately three years ago, after almost half a century, a Victim in Greenfield Park, Quebec, (GPK), confided about sexual abuse suffered at the hands of Walter Bockus, rector of St. Paul's Anglican Church in GPK.
Considered an allegation only, but confident this allegation worthy of merit and investigation, we commenced inquiring.
The proverbial roof blew off as Victim after Victim came forward, all independently, with the EXACT SAME STORY.
Each Victim did not know the other Victims had been molested, yet their account of how Bockus often used the porn classic, "Behind the Green Door" was often the common denominator as each of them recounted the loss of their childhood innocence.
People now scattered across North America had been abused with the same porn book, in the same way, in the Rector's office, the dark anteroom just off the pulpit, and even in the Church kitchen! To a priest in whose hands dozens of parents entrusted their valuable children!
Three years later we now have over two dozen Victims claiming abuse from 7 pedophiles in our Little Town. It seems some of these pedophiles were working together!
At the beginning of November, 2006, the Anglican Church confirmed knowledge of the abuse and offered pastoral care to those Victims who request help. (That letter is reprinted on this site, below the posts.)
Additionally, the Church has agreed to meet with the Mayor to have "Bockus" street brought down, removing the honour given to one of our Town's worst, if not the worst, pedophiles.
We'll organize this web site over time, as the incoming material warrants its organization, but for now we will upload as much as possible, as soon as possible, in chronological order, as received.
Our concern and mandate is to find every victim and bring to them as much healing as possible. Some need little assistance. But one for example, has been completely devastated, has lived as a recluse, with the guilt and shame for half a century. Like the others, he had believed that he had been Bockus' only victim. As a child, Bockus had molested him over 200 times, sometimes on a daily basis.
This site is for ALL Victims, not just those from GPK. Our wish is "No More Child Abuse".
This is not a call to Victims to identify yourselves. One has, in the hopes his "out" will encourage you to discreetly come forward to the Church, or other professional, for care. YOU WERE NOT GUILTY!!
