The Little Ones

The mission of The Little Ones is to hold the Archdiocese of New Orleans to its promise of transparency and to compel the Archdiocese to release all clergy abuse files and documents.  We hope you will join us and add your comments below.

If he were thrown into the sea with a millstone tied to his neck, he would be far better off than facing the punishment in store for those who harm these little children’s souls.

Luke 17:2

Archbishop Gregory Aymond:

“I join with US Bishops around the country in thanking the Vatican for a thorough investigation and report.”
(on the McCarrick scandal)

Sworn Testimony from Vicar of Finance, Father Patrick Carr

QUESTION:
Do you agree that the disclosure of documents in the possession of the Archdiocese dealing with clergy abuse would go towards the healing of victim survivors throughout this reorganization and bankruptcy?

FATHER PATRICK CARR:
“Maybe.”

QUESTION:
Would you agree that, throughout this reorganization plan, if victim survivors were able to review certain documents and learn everything that the Archdiocese knew about the priests that violated them, it would go toward a healing process for that victim survivor?

FATHER PATRICK CARR:
“I can’t speak for victim survivors.”

This website is for the victim-survivors to have a voice and to actually speak for themselves.

Their pleas are unanimous.

We pray that the Archdiocese listens to These Little Ones.

I will never get my day in court

“I was sexually abused by Father Michael Fraser when I was a 5th Grade student and altar boy.  Father Fraser forced oral sex upon me while I was a child, and because he died before I could have my case heard, I can never get full justice for what he did to me.  Forcing the …

I was abused by Father Robert Cooper and Father J. Luis Fernandez

“I was abused by Father Robert Cooper and Father J. Luis Fernandez, and the Archdiocese believed me and paid for medical and psychological treatment because of my abuse.

Our Church Continues to Hide Files From Me

“I was sexually abused by Father James Collery, yet the complete history of his abuse of children remains hidden in the abuse files of the Archdiocese of New Orleans.

Releasing These Documents Will Provide Real Healing

Provincial of the Salesian Order

“I was raped by a Provincial of the Salesian Order and Archbishop Gregory Aymond told me that he believed me and knew my abuser, Father Sam Isgro. I am incredibly mad that no documents have ever been released or shown to me about him or his history of abuse. Please show me the files!” — …

Madonna Manor and Hope Haven

I Was Abused by Two Priests

“I was abused by two priests, Father Paul Calamari and Father Michael Fraser.  They took me out of state and groped and fondled me like a sex toy, yet no one has ever shown me any records of their history of abuse even though the Archdiocese has listed them as credibly accused pedophiles. It’s simple, …
