Cedarbrake Retreat | As Catholics we are invited to follow Jesus, to go with Him where He calls us. As His disciples He invites us from fear to faith. How will we respond? Jesus singles Peter out of the crowd in the boat. Jesus is inviting Peter to a deeper faith, and He invites you to do the same. The question is, will you get out of the boat? Our retreat leader is Russell Hoyt, who is the Director for the Evangelization and Catechesis Office in our Diocese.

We will examine the role of institutions that have allowed victims/survivors to be further abused. Viewing this through the lens of enabling, we will explore scenarios where institutional practices have resulted in additional harm to victims/survivors by the way they have been treated during and after their actual reporting of the abuse.
An enabler is any person who knew, or should have known, of harm committed against a victim and yet, chose to protect the institution directly, or the perpetrator indirectly, thereby causing more harm to the victim. The question then becomes, how can this be prevented in the future going forward? And, how can the institution be held accountable and prevented from causing more harm to victims/survivors?
