Episode Two: Michael’s Story

September 30, 2026 · 27 min

Show notes

In this week’s second episode of The Fringes, we listen to the lived experience of “Michael,” a survivor who shares his account of abuse as a minor by his parish pastor—and the years of institutional silence and the lifelong burden he continues to carry.

Following his story, Sr. Theresa and Sr. Danielle unpack the concept of institutional betrayal and reflect on Michael’s recommendations for reform.
