By partnering with various agencies and ministries, SafeNet's Survivor Outreach Services (SOS) proposes to offer to survivors in need, limited financial assistance for educational purposes. One-time grants would be made to individuals interested in attending conferences, lectures, seminars, gatherings and other events that contribute to the healing process.

 

        Through the SOS program, SafeNet hopes to create an ongoing "Network of Giving " between itself and such ministries as The Franciscan Office of Pastoral Outreach, the religious communities' collaborative, Pathways to Hope, and the various Offices of Victims Assistant Coordinators that were mandated by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and established in each diocese. Contributions would be administered by SafeNet and distributed directly to survivors who applied for funds.

 

        We believe SOS can serve as one compassionate response to the needs of survivors. More information on this program will be available as it develops.
