Congratulations to Susan Metzler who received the Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice in recognition of her work in bringing justice and healing to victims of clerical sexual abuse.

This honour is awarded by the Pope to members of the clergy and laity for their service to the Church.

Susan works toward achieving just and fair settlements in these matters. Because of her many years of advocacy, she deserves the gratitude of the church and the Pontiff,” said Father David Katulski, CSB.
