Hi Anne,

Thanks for explaining where things stand. We’re hoping you can answer a few follow-up questions:

• Does “special committee of independent persons” mean a committee in addition to a firm you hired, or did the Diocese assemble its own investigative team in lieu of hiring a firm?

• Are you able to clarify what you mean by our “support in protecting the integrity of the investigation”? What type of action do you see as a threat to this?

• Will we be notified in some way when the investigation is concluded?

Thanks,

Joanna, Cherin, [redacted advocate], and [Eve] Annemarie
